(LAS VEGAS - January 19, 2004) – Moisture Vapor Barrier Primer/Finish, from Sherwin-Williams, is specially formulated for application in manufactured housing.  Because the coating dries fast and is both a primer and topcoat in one, it speeds production time and reduces costs typically associated with a two-product process.
