[pct-l] Ultra ever dry

[Jack Thornton]

Not sure where the lower numbers come from, but what I see on their web site says:

COLOR FINISH: Translucent White
APPLICATION: Metals/Plastics/Wood/Fabric
COVERAGE: 42 Sq. Ft.
SIZE TYPE: Quart


That makes it a bit more affordable than $150/4.5 sq ft.  Still not cheap.  Just not ridiculous.

the intenet says this material is a two part application.  one quart of
each part costs a total of $149.00 and only covers 3.5 to 4.5 sq ft.  It
only comes in white at this time.  I think I will wait awhile.
