Norglass Paints and Specialty Finishes

Norglass display boat Cinderella once again drew a crowd at the recent Tasmanian Wooden Boat Show.

The half old, half new, wooden dinghy finished & repaired in Norglass Products has again proven to be a crowd pleaser with the public lining up to see the fantastic results Norglass products can produce.

Brett Mould & Breck Stewart from Norglass were busy every day of the show going over the repair stages of the boat with both experienced boat enthusiasts and curious onlookers who were surprised at what great results the Norglass brand had achieved.

Norglass products were also on show, having been used on various boats that were displayed at the festival, giving the public more of an idea of how our products can really help make a boat come to life. We have 3 examples in the pictures here.

The Norglass stand also featured over 50 display panels, with over 20 different types of wood, all demonstrating various Norglass product finishes. These panels drew the attention of furniture builders, wood turners, house builders & painters & restaurant & cafe owners, all looking for a suitable product to fulfill their needs.

The Tasmanian Wooden Boat festival is now one of the largest boat festivals in the world, and once again the Norglass brand was an outstanding example of a great all Australian product.
