New from Jonghyang - Paint!
2004-09-28
Pyongyang, September 27 (KCNA) -- The Korea Rakwon External Technology Service Center of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea produces pearl-like luster paint. The Jonghyang-branded paint is made with highly water-proof synthetic resin as an additive.
They invented epoxy paint! How do they do it?
It is used to paint interior and exterior walls and ceilings of public and dwelling buildings. Painted on the surface of concrete, wooden board, strawboard and vinyl wallpaper, it neither crack nor loosen as it has a strong adhesive power.
It's a paint! It's a sealer! It's a dessert topping!
It, with a high pyrogenic and adsorbent nature, is also strong in rust-proofing. One kilogram of Jonghyang is enough to paint two-three square meters. It has found its way to Malaysia and various other countries.
Jong Jong Gun, chief of the center, told KCNA that the center produces various painting materials including ordinary exterior and interior, rust-proof, anti-foul, oil-proof, acid resistant painting materials and oil painting materials according to orders.

I wish I had a few of those juche-fueled paint experts over to help me paint my barn...

#6  "Juche-brand epoxy paint/driveway sealant/dessert topping is sold by weight, not by volume. Some separation settling of contents may have occurred during shipping. Do not use product near septic fields, day care centers, or nuclear test zones."

#5  RC - The Kim Institute of Paint Scientists and ReEngineers are still working on "brushes" and "rollers"... innovatations they're sure to release soon. When they do, well, we'd better look out! That Acme Spray Gun you have in your garage won't be worth warm spit!

#4  Isn't it a bit odd to measure paint by weight? It's likely how the Peoples Red October Paint Factory measures their output.

It's like the old Soviet saw about how to properly measure the output of a glass factory.

Weight or Area. Can't see thru it or it shatters in a breeze.

Don't tell them that! They'll eat it!

Isn't it a bit odd to measure paint by weight? And that coverage seems a little low to me, assuming by "two-three" they mean "2.3" or even "2-3".
