Subject: Circa 1850 Fast Dry Polyurethane

Message:
Hi,

For my boat's cabin sole, I had used a
polyurethane called Ultimate Sole (gloss, no
abrasives), which is no longer in business. I'm
trying to find out if Circa 1850 Fast Dry
Polyurethane would have similar non-slip
properties with water on it. I was told that
Ultimate Sole had a high coefficient of friction
which increased with additional pressure. All I
know is that it wasn't slippery when wet, unlike
traditional polyurethanes. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
Very interesting product. Too bad it is no longer available. Unfortunately, the Circa 1850 Fast Dry Polyurethane would not be considered a non-slip coating.

However, you have piqued my interest, and we will start working on it. Check back soon to see where we are at

Mark,

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm glad I piqued your
interest. Here's some more details that I have on
Ultimate Sole:

coefficient of friction > 0.5
Gardner color scale < 4

Thanks,
Scott

Greetings, I would like to purchase Circa 1850 Lemon Oil in the 3.78 litre size but there is no place on the order form for this item. I notice there is a size like this can you help me?

You will have to purchase that size product at a retail store.

Mark, the problem is I can't find a retail store in my area that has a listing on this product to give me a price. Can you help me out on this? I live in Chilliwack B.C. and if I can find a retailer here or somewhere in the Fraser Valley area it would help.

thanks

Gary

Best bet is to get a Home Hardware to do a special order for you.

I''m also looking for a non-slip product (like the old Ultimate Sole) to refinish our cabin sole; but preferably in Satin.

Scott or Mark, did either of you make any headway?

Thanks!
Elisa

I see the last time someone asked about non-slip for a boat sole, was in April of 2011 (almost a year ago). Any progress? Has anyone tried mixing a product from Sherwin Williams called "Shark Grip" into the Circa 1850? I''m interested in a satin look, so a little haze from the grip material probably wouldn''t be noticed.

I like using Circa Tung Oil it brings out the grain and color of the wood. Can I use Circa 1850 Polyurethane over the Circca Tung Oil for more protection? Most Polyurethane will not adhear over a tung oil base.

Message:
Yes, you can use Circa 1850 Polyurethane over Circa 1850 Tung Oil. The key to achieving a good finish is to allow the tung oil to have plenty of time to thoroughly cure. Under ideal conditions, this would be 24 hours. However, low temperature, high humidity, poor air flow and lack of sunlight may greatly extend the cure time.
