Anyone have experience with Epifanes 2 part polyurethane paint. Have used Perfection with roll and tip with great results but is no longer available in Canada due to possibility of Health issues. -

Any two part linear polyurethane is going to carry serious health hazards due to it's chemical makeup.
They all require a more exacting standard for temperature, humidity, mixing ,application and safety.
The documentation that comes with the paint will tell you much more than anything you can find on the web.
The horror stories of other peoples application disasters, however, are most informative.

My question is more on the comparison of the two. Is Epifane results as good as Perfection ? Epifane seams to be the only 2 part now available in Canada. -

My apologies,I have never used Epifanes, only Perfection. I'd bet they perform much the same.They are both a more consumer oriented product than Algrip or Imron.

Haven't used the 2 part. Have used epifane varnish. Still looks new after 2 years in the weather.
