Polyesters are chemically unstable. They will to varying degrees (speed) all hydrolyse ie break down. Probably not in your life time (but that...
All epoxies will absorb small amounts of moisture and as someone said it diffuses in...and out all the time when it reaches saturation point....
Hey Tony I imagine if you have been spraying Imron, then you won't find Alexseal a problem. It is better to spray Alexseal slightly thicker every...

We will leave it here. You are right, the permeability of Interprotect 2000e is not very good. It is a good barrier. I wasn´t proposing use as...
Actually interprotect is almost 100% solid WHEN it is cured...ie once the solvent evaporates:) Unlike most 100%solid epoxies which are loaded with...
Sorry if I confused topic by being less than precise talking about Interprotect 2000e. The OP mentioned this, I was talking of this. I must...
