Fight Club____for Sailors

[Surfesq]

Wow eight kids how awesome! I came from a family of six kids (4 boys one year apart). We had a lot of fun. We are also insanely competitive....every monopoly game ended in a fist fight! lol. You have your hands full there Charlie.

...Is anyone surprised?

I am sure a lot of things you do end in fist fights - that happens to me a lot too!

[Surfesq]

Fortunately I have not hit anyone in a long time! But don't push me Booty..

[sailingdog]

Of course, only a cad or buffoon would ever threaten to hit a woman, and only a neanderthal would actually follow through on such a threat.... but that's just my opinion.

[Surfesq]

Actually I was thinking of more like a spanking... I think P.Booty might rather enjoy that. lol. Sailing Dog you are doing a lot of sucking up to P. Booty...What's that about?

[Surfesq]

Sailing Dog keep your eye on the ball here and off P. Booty for a minute. You seem to be one of the most knowledgeable guys on this site. Have you any experience with the two part Interlux v. Awlgrip. I already know Awlgrip is more expensive and difficult to use. But is the Interlux durable?

You have been very busy SD.

What can I say, I post when i'm working, as I'm often on-line, since I do a fair bit of web design/technology research and consulting and generally have a dozen browser windows open.

As the PB issue...nope.. just don't believe in violence towards women. Since she is one of the few that participates in your thread, she benefits. Besides, I like her taking potshots at you.

From what I understand, they're both fairly durable, but some of what you're asking depends on which specific paint you are talking about. I do have a background in the paint industry, as my family owned a paint store and made their own brand of paint for many years...

Let me know which of the Interlux paints you're specifically comparing to AwlGrip, which has essentially one line for topsides paints—AwlGrip TopCoat, which is a linear polyureathane IIRC.

Gosh, I do love being the subject of so much controversy! Sounds like you fellows need to duke it out with a couple of swashbuckling swords - that would be so fun

I would definitely be there in full pirate garb and would even borrow a talking parrot for the occasion - just tell me when and where!
