Dear International Paints - please bring back red Danboline

[14K478]

There really is no substitute.

White Danboline has its place, grey Danboline has its place, but neither is appropriate in the bilges of a wooden dinghy or launch!

People on here say garage floor paint is the same thing,wouldnt know never tried it.

I do not think that it is. Garage floor paints in my experience are epoxies, polyurethanes or chlorinated rubbers; Danboline seems to be an alkyd.

Danboline? I thought she was one of Henry the 8th's wives?

And a badly tied knot?

My complaint is that International no longer make red Danboline.

Thanks for the suggestion of the Teamac paint - that does look similar. A long oil alkyd.

Will try it.

Danboline was certainly good stuff: it seemed to stick really well to sometime dubious old bilge areas (though of course I worked very hard to clean/degrease). I hope Teamac's equivalent is the same.

You know what I am talking about! AN Other company’s “bilge and locker paint” is rubbish by comparison. International still make Danboline in white and grey but not in red.

No, her brother !

Actually I thought Dan Bowline was a cowboy. Like some of the people who used the paint of the same name to cover up rotten timber in the bilges of their boats.

Take your tin of white Danboline to a paint shop with a dulux colouring machine. Choose a colour and away you go. My bilges are Twisted bamboo 4.
