If Tuffcab is applied to bare wood very thickly and in the right conditions it's not too bad but I gave up on it and switched to Warnex years ago..
Shame we can't get Trimite anymore. Now that was tough!

It's just bits of paper flapping about in a box.

Maybe my euro to pound conversion is out of calibration due to the Brexit omnishambles If you have Penn Elcom trade account you can get warnex even cheaper.

I did link to the 6kg tin not 1kg. The 1kg for £42 is also white not black.

I have been experimenting a bit with tuffcab and warnex on poplar plywood. I wanted to get a hard surface as the poplar is a lot more prone to denting than birch.
The warnex definitely gives a harder surface than tuffcab. I used a fine texture roller and after four coats began to get a good finish with warnex. However I wanted something even tougher so I tried using hessian fabric as a covering with the paint. So I rollered the bare wood with paint, stuck the fabric on and then covered it with more paint. put on more coats when it was touch dry (1-2 hours). the warnex seems to go on thicker and hold more of a texture as after four coats you can no longer see the pattern of the fabric through the pattern of the roller. because of the fabric the first coat was 1.25mm thick and then after four coats of warnex it was about 2mm. I think you would need about eight coats to build it up to 2mm without fabric. Neither the tuffcab nor warnex surfaces felt very hard at first and I was a bit disappointed but now three weeks later they have both hardened up significantly. I tried taking a hammer to my paint/fabric test samples today. got through to bare wood on the tuffcab but not the warnex which exposed some of the fabric fibres but didn't chip off any of the wood surface. the warnex seemed to wet the fibres a bit better when I was painting and that is borne out looking at the damage. the tuffcab has gone through the holes in the fabric but not really soaked into the fibres as much. will try experimenting more with a diluted first coat and longer drying time between coats and see if that makes any difference. would love to take a hammer to some ply sprayed with two-part liner and see how it compares but I feel bad asking my mate to get all his kit out just to do some little samples. |
