Awlspar HS.

Unlikely anybody else would stock it if the official distributor does not. Have you actually asked them? or asked their European office in Belgium?

Perhaps you should think about using European alternatives.
Don't be bullied by names and reputations.

Chris, thanks for your reply.
You have mentioned this stuff before and as you are in Turkey, I guess it may be good stuff.
I have asked them for their prices, I have lots more varnish to do and as I'm stripping the handrails to bare wood, will give it a go on those. I see there is a 360 PUV and a 360 PUV (tropical) do you know the difference? or is as I suspect the tropical more UV resistant?
I have to admit though the Awlspar HS is excellent stuff and will take some beating, its longevity, I have no idea, although the super yacht re-finishers hereabouts swear by it, along with Awlbrite.

I haven't used the PUV tropical so can't comment. Wouldn't have thought it
was about extra UV protection, more likely user friendly application in humid conditions.
Agree with results from Awlbrite being superb in the hands of an expert in ideal temp/humidity situations.
Wood Impreg & PU360 are a doddle to use as long as you avoid dew and rain. Difficult to judge long-term longevity as I have only been using it for 3 years but so far I am well impressed.
Prices here about Euro40 for Wood Impreg and Euro50 for the 360 PU.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Chris

The price is pretty good, I will await their reply and maybe pick some up, when in the UK.
Got to be worth a go. I havent found Awlspar or brite difficult to use atall, maybe had the right conditions. The awlbrite is like water though and a bit challenging to apply. Not a doddle!! Do you know if its available in Greece, as I will be in the ionian in june?
Thanks, Colin
 
Colin, I don't know if it is available in Greece but the Eastern Med distributor
is here in Marmaris (http://www.deryamarine.com/ ).
Owner is French (as is the product) but speaks excellent English.
I am sure he can help you out.
Cheers,
Chris
P.S. I do not get anything for advertising, just happy to recommend a good product.
