Choice of Acrylic?

[dean01]

Hi all, I’ve been using Weberplast and k-rend acrylic top coats which are fine. But it’s expensive, any cheaper products that are just as good? If not where’s cheapest place to buy the Weber or k-rend ? Why I’m at it,I usually use lac for backing coat, again any cheaper version, and what u lot pay for lac. Thanks in advance !

Fassa, jub there’s a fair few about but its more on the base coats for me, and obviously the usability of them. Depends on the volumes your buying I guess as regards cost of product.

Johnstones is a good price. Atlas Avail is usually cheaper and all are good to a point, but I find the cheaper bucket material more gritty and the more expensive stuff finer to use. My favourite is Jub but mid priced.

Yep the cheaper ones use more grit to bulk it out, my favourite is the new Parex revlane gear.

I've always liked K Rend sprays lovely...was shocked when I sprayed Fassa recently in comparison...very gritty...

Going to try Baumit next have heard good things...Fassa do great base coats though and cheap.

Baumit is good gear mate, the texture is nice to use priced sensibly to
