[TheForge] Permalac

[Ben Barrett]

That is a great report of your experience, thank you!  Was this on steel,
per chance?
Any attempts at dipping or pouring rather than spraying?
I'm hoping to coat a complex interior of a sort of vessel/tube, the exterior
could be sprayed but prolly not the interiors...
