Teflon: I’ve heard that there is Teflon available in a fine powder that can be mixed into epoxy. I’ve yet to try it.

Is there any way to apply teflon coatings in a domestic project?

Thanks Dan for the reply

I went to the 3m site , just to look and see. But I’m on dial up…..no T1….no fiber optics…no DSL.

I just figured that someone already did all the work to find out that there is one. So out of curosity I opted for the lazy way…and just asked

Thanks again….seems like everyone on the forum is caught up in talking about seperate air systems….to the point of not really wanting to say anything else after doing the teaser thing.

Best Wishes
Roy

Hi Roy,

I’ve heard that rumor as well. I can’t find any information either. For spraying urethanes you need supplied air to do it correctly. From what I’ve read organic (charcoal based) filters DO remove the isocyantes but because they have no odor, you don’t know when the filter has reached capacity.

When you’re brushing/rolling & tipping, wear a standard organic cartridge and work in a ventilated space. The isocyantes are not atomized and wont hurt you but the reducers are nasty!

Wow, great work. I am just getting interested in kayaking. Went to some demos and saw some beautiful wooden kayaks amongst many plastics. Learned about the greenland paddle, which I was researching when I came across your article.
I was a interior house painter for many years so I appreciate fine finishes. Can’t wait to build my own boat some day.
