UVa/UVb Blocker

A customer of mine is a rep for New-Penn shipping. His company
handles the shipping for a local chemical coatings company who
specializes in automotive and marine coatings. IDK the company
name yet. However I asked Bob if he would ask about the
availability of some sort of non-abrasive coating that could be
applied to plastic and painted surfaces by hand that would help
block the UV in sunlight that bleaches out our saws.
Well evidently they do make something that is supposed to do
that. Bob brought me a unmarked quart bottle of some sort of goo
that they produce for the marine industry. Supposed to last one
season in the marine environment. Not intended as a color
restorer only as a UV inhibitor. I tried it on an old faded top
cover, it did not restore the color, it did however make the
surface very very slick. Not sure if one would want the stuff on
the rear handle as it may be hazard to safety.
So, I am going to start applying a coat to every saw that comes
in here and we will see if the stuff does what they say! I will
report back when we start seeing or not seeing any results.
Here is a picture of the foul smelling goo!
