I just got an 18L press last night (I know, pics or it didn't happen - I'll post later. :D ). It's in really good shape, but there are a few, small nicks in the paint. Should I be worried about this? Is there a special kind of paint to use for touch ups? The wood is in great shape, but I'd like to hit it with a sealer. I know EZ-DO has been recommended, but I can't seem to find anywhere to buy it that isn't charging almost as much for shipping as they are for the product. Any recommendations? Thanks!!

BB,

I know that EZ-DO is expensive, But to me it is well worth it.

Me and my brother built a new destemmer stand out of simple douglass fir. put on 3 very thin coats of this. Last weekend, I pulled it out of the storrage shed and was still surprised on how the thing list just as good as the day we built it.

As far as paint, that's a hard one. I know that there is food grade paint out there, but it is not easy to find.

I bought EZ-DO from here:

Shipping wasn't bad for me considering where I live
