How would this be for an outdoor timber finish (or table/bench tops)?

mardi 25 novembre 2014

Just bought some nitrile disposable gloves from these people (excellent service with next day delivery). They included a catalogue and I got to thinking about the Diamond clearcoat finish. I wonder how it would go as a finish for outdoor furniture etc?

The website claims:


  • tough & hard (I'm sure that I saw somewhere a claim of the world's toughest, which is a big call)

  • self levelling

  • high temp resistance (for table or bench tops)

  • UV stability (outdoor furniture)

  • chemical resistance (workbenches)can be used on metal

  • permanently flexible

  • can be used over paint and metal

  • quick recoat 1-2 hours

  • Aussie made






The UV stabilisation caught my eye, but I don't if this just refers to the coating itself or whether it blocks significant UV from the timber - maybe both?



Actually I just now went to the instructions page:

and it talks about clear coating wood (but that's all it says).



Cleanup and dilution is using their proprietary thinners for which they recommend:

IF SPRAYING, ALWAYS WEAR AN AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR AND EYE PROTECTION: NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor particulate respirator.



It's a gloss finish which won't appeal to everyone, but that can be knocked back with a 3000 grit (or whatever) sanding.



Nor is it cheap at $79 per litre, $260 per 4 litres, $1050 per 20 litres, but if it's as good as they claim it could be well worthwhile.



Maybe a coat or two of oil first, and use this after polymerisation?



Any thoughts?
