Can I get that in English? grin

I'm not a chemist or a "paint theorist", I'm wondering what the practical differences are. Like do they apply differently, do they dry at different rates, is one less prone to chipping, is one more flexible? Things like that. Information of a practical nature rather than something to muse over....

Please.

Woody,

Here is a good basic overview without the technical mumbo jumbo.

except that article is comparing acrylic enamel, not acrylic urethane grin

I'd say as far as your practical considerations Woody, for the hobbyist there's not much difference between different styles of [poly]urethane

Strange as it may seem, that does answer my question.

Bill, the bus is amazing! It's hard to believe that one man can accomplish so much in such a (relatively) short time... I'm VERY impressed!

well I didn't get as much done as I had hoped to, but I did get a lot more done than I thought I'd have too!! and I can't retire until the retirement home is ready big_eek

up here summer = as much as 18 hours of useable daylight, and the summer is all mine.... unfortunately harvest time is in the way now, the part of life that keeps the coffers topped up grin no more real progress this year
