love it so Christopher Mason says okay I'm this is just going to look really silly do you spray Locker paint in a home of painting cabinet boxes or would you only spray Locker in a booth I'm sorry um that's a good question so I use a spray lacquer all the time in homes and there's a lot of inherent dangers to that and you have how many years probably it's been over seven eight years yeah I wouldn't touch lockers anymore myself period so uh especially not inside of a home uh let alone other you know areas but I used to in new construction I used to paint uh S lacers I used to paint all of our kitchen cabinets with lacquers uh while people were living in the home still and you know um there's so many explosion risks uh fire hazards with lers that I um I personally would never use them you know anymore and I personally feel there's products that are far superior to lacquers nowadays uh that perform just like a lacquer but lasts longer than a lacquer in many ways so the last um projects you were doing what product were you using uh rener 851 so rener is a water-based uh 2K poly one or 2K poly you can catalyzer or not catalyze it you can use it right out of a can water-based unlike Locker a low odor and um you're the customers you're not going to blow your customers out of the house um with smells you're not going to blow the house up by igniting it but you had use paintline spray booth and that's a great spray booth but it's not to be used with lockers right or FL very very specific very paint line says very clearly that cannot be used with flammable products because the fan um that is specked with a booth that's sold with a booth is not an explosion proof um fan so you should not be using it so so good to know so 2K polyes are the products you use when you do Cabinets Now if you were going to brush and roll um a cabinet um maybe you just had a little touchup or just a small project and you didn't um want to spray what product would you use to brush and roll you use a 2K poly to brush and roll so now like uh you know in the past they weren't great for brushing and rolling now rener has come up with a retardant now you can actually add to their products that makes it brush and rollable and it's a very brush and loable now okay so you can have that um if I wasn't using a 2K poly if I was if I don't like brushing and rolling interior trim I like Benjamin more advanced it's an absolutely amazing product uh Emeral urethane you know is a really good product um…
