Vinyl Alternative
Restoring a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10 loudspeakers & needed something to replace the old & scuffed up vinyl that was covering the back of the cabinets. I considered using Di-Noc & Tolex, but wanted something a little easier to apply. I watched a couple of videos of DuraTex on YouTube & it looked promising, so I decided to buy a quart and see how it worked. Long story short, this product is amazing! The videos simply do not do it justice. The finish is so much nicer looking in person, & it is so easy to use. Just dip the roller in the can & apply on the project. I settled on a smooth sponge roller, as I wanted less of a texture & more of a match to the vinyl wrap that it replaced. On both accounts DuraTex scored high. It is virtually an exact match for textured vinyl, and so much easier to apply. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Take your time when applying, spread it out evenly, removing any air bubbles that are left behind, & use at least 2 coats. I waited about 10 – 15 minutes between coats. It doesn’t get any easier than that. Experiment with different rollers on some sample pieces until the desired texture & coverage is achieved. Be patient & you will be rewarded.

Great industrial coating with not a lot of effort!
I bought a quart of this for my Dayton Ultimax 18” build. Very thick and goes on like a dream. There is an enclosed roller to get the “rough and tumble” effect, but I would still advise to paint on the DuraTex with a good paint brush first. Brush in the same direction as it will ultimately look more uniform. Then go over the fresh paint lightly with the roller to the desired effect. Really easy to do one side at a time and blend into the next side if needed. I saved the bottom for last. Also, if you are installing feet/spikes, pre drill holes first, then paint, then install the hex mounts for the feet. I did two coats on all sides except the front. I gave three. I still have about 1/4 of the can left. Always nice to have extra for touch ups. One word of advice…make sure your sanding is next to perfect if not perfect. This stuff will not hide as much as you think. I have one small area on the back I thought was good enough…yeah right. Remember, perfection takes time. Happy Building!

Your professionalism and ability to communicate with our customers on their level is truly a great asset to your firm
Thanks for helping us rescue a large source of revenue we were in danger of losing. You helped us show our customer the products they really needed, which we could distribute to them from you. You saved us at least $375,000 in sales that could have been lost this year alone! Your professionalism and ability to communicate with our customers on their level is truly a great asset to your firm. You have a vast knowledge of the challenges and problems that my customers face daily. I’ve NEVER dealt with a paint manufacturer with more knowledge or higher level of service than you supply.

Excellent product. Makes cabinets look great.
DuraTex is the best one part cabinet coating I have used to date. I have coated unfinished cabinets and pre-painted cabinets with it. All cabinets that I have painted with DuraTex have looked great and hold up well. I have a full year of weekly use on my cabinets and they still look great. I will continue to use this product.

Product Reviewed: Soft Tread Coating
The cellar, which would have been very wet, is completely dry.
We applied Soft Tread to the Baltimore Lighthouse to seal the upper concrete walkway. I got a call from one of the other keepers who is onboard, it’s been raining and blowing 25 kts all day. He says the cellar, which would have been very wet, is completely dry. The Soft Tread has fully sealed our deck.

Thanks for the great work and for going the extra mile for us in demonstrating your products and training our personnel
Thanks for the great work and for going the extra mile for us in demonstrating your products and training our personnel in the methods of application. We decided to switch from solvent paints a few years ago and with your help it was a smart move. We tested several national brand paints and found that yours was competitively priced while giving us the exact results we were looking for.
