So... I've tried about 5 different google searches to no avail and I'm hoping someone here can help (also tried a search but my phone was brig disagreeable tonight).
I live in California, land of the tree huggers and where every man made product known to man has been recognized by the state to causes of cancer and birth defects. The question is in regards to alkyd paint replacements. It's getting uneconomic and hard to find any oil paints for shelves and we've been painting with latex for shelves on our apt units to my dismay for awhile. We've given up the Kilz boat for the Zinsser Bulls-Eye on primer use but I'm trying to find a good alternative to paint shelves with to prevent blocking. Is there anyone familiar with what can be bought around here since oil based is sadly out of the question? Have they started producing any latex or water based paints that don't have the soft latex blocking issues? I've been painting a trial shelf with a few thin coats of zinsser bullseye and its not blocking like the Kilz used to, however I'm looking for a top coat, for bathrooms etc. Unless using multiple thin coats from a foam roller for an ultra smooth and hard finish is the way to go... It just takes awhile.
And if someone is aware of another thread this is answered on, please let me know and I'll apologize for the double post. Thanks guys (and girls? If you're on this site
