Martin, Paul...

It seems that hardly anyone is using Optima coatings and I was wondering if
it is just the cost or are there other issues? By their claims--it's
non-toxic and better than any other UV coating. I asked if anyone was using
Optima on this list about one or two months ago and no one answered.
