Cross-linked, water-based, polyurethane top coats?

[TiPegleg]

Has anyone worked with Pennant Topside Paint from System 3 (or similar)? It looks interesting but I’m not seeing a lot of data points. I have a 42ft hull to repaint in Florida so I’m weighing all my options. https://www.systemthree.com/products/pennant-topside-paint

I've used a similar product from Bote-Cote.

It doesn't come off the gun as cleanly as traditional 2 pack poly or leave as higher gloss though self levelling is better, easier to brush or roll.

Manufacture say full cure in 7 days but its hard enough within hours of drying that correction of runs & sags is difficult,

Toxicity is way less and clean up is easy.


Useability is good. as it doesn't go off in the pot.

Manufacturer says pour the unused contents of the pot back in the can and add more cross link agent at next use.

Can't speak to the longevity yet but the clear with three coats has held up better than six + coats of varnish over exterior teak after 18 months.

I'm mostly interested in it as a paint, but I agree this seems a great system for wood. Doesn't seem all that common as paint though?
