rb, I agree with much of that article but I thought it was a little strident and absolutist. Dressings ARE needed for graft unions, nothing to debunk there.

DTE, I use sealants experimentally in very specific circumstances. If you tell us what/why you want to paint, we may be able to recommend.

Guys, I am not taking about paint to seal wounds. I am talking forestry paint for running harvesting boundary lines and for marking trees to be harvested.
thanks

I buy my marking paint from bailey's. I also use their flagging tape.

ryan, havent heard of baileys paint brand before, rudd? How does it do in the rain and does it still work in below zero temps?

 

[Ryan Willock]

DTE, yes it is Rudd paint. It does great in the rain and holds up very well, as to below zero that I can't tell you as I have only used it down to 15 above. At that temp you have to constantly shake the can to keep things moving

Tape a handwarmer to the can, keep it in your vest pocket and no problems.

 

[Down To Earth]

Speaking of vests wiley you ever seen anyone use one of these

No problem carrying my smokes with THAT puppy!

DTE, no I still have my Filson, that one looks dandy though. I think the Filson is about the same price, that Cordura one looks nice it would dry out quicker in wet climates, could be a bit noisy.
