im just parroting what people have told me about oil. i dont touch the
stuff myself, too much of a pain to use... i think maybe my painter
friends use that lasts longer line to justify charging much more to apply
oil paint g

ive heard that poly latex is good in places where temperatures dont vary too
much because it will still crack, but again thats second hand info.. where
i live now surface temps of the paint will vary from well over 100F to well
under 0 (-30 i think was the low last year). from what ive seen, nothing
holds up all that well except stains. if i were starting fresh here i would
use oil stains on bare wood.

Xronger since the lead was taken out of oil and compared to latexs of
even 15 years ago there is no comparison . Latex lasts longer on wood.
Even 10 yrs ago you would not see a warranty offered with oil, but with
latex yes. Sherwin williams best has a lifetime warranty, it will look
like crap in 20, but bonds like glue, and actualy has a polyurethand
bonder in it. Latexes outperform on wood, they have expansion abilities
of wood that will ruin Oil paint
