Re: Strippable Paint?

     Gregg,
     
     We have some experience using sprippable coatings for decontamination 
     of our refueling cavities and reactor head.  Once this paint was 
     applied to a spent fuel (rodlet) shipping cask before and after it was 
     contaminated to capture the contamination between two layers.
     
     To get to the point, the coatings I've run across are far from 
     durable.  They set up and come off like a high grade of rubber cement. 
     The nature of strippable paint which makes it easy to remove is in 
     direct conflict with being durable under the kinds of duty you 
     described.

Hi Y'all,
     
Does anyone know of a vendor for strippable paints? 
     
Also any experience in how well they hold up to traffic(i.e. moving drums)? 
We are constructing a new Waste vehicle and thought this paint might 
be nice to use on the floor, if it will last awhile.  I don't necessarily 
want to add "painting" to my list of daily duties. 
     
Thanks in advance,
