: Hi Todd,
: That Enamel is oil based. I've used external emanel on three SoF's
: and had no problems with brittleness.
: The thing with enamel is that it isn't as srcatch resistant as some
: poly's. It also needs occassional re-coating. A quick sand and
: clean and a coat, maybe once a year depending on sun fading.

Would oil based enamel work on nylon?
