Fire proof coating for doors

[Pusscat10]

Has anyone used the Intumescent Paint recently and can give some feedback. My builder said he used it a few years back and it was like working with treacle and gave a poor finish. He suggest stripping the doors and using the Intumescent Varnish. Any body got feedback they can share. Thanks

I can remember doors being done on a job recently with an intermescent paint and the decorators had to apply several layers to get a good finish. If I remember correctly it was something like about eight coats that were put on. I don't know the make of paint but it was a waterbased clear coating put on over exsisting paint. The decorators were forced to rush a couple of doors and put the paint on thicker but the finish was nowhere near as good.
As my post brings your thread higher up the page then hopefully someone who actually is a decorator will give better information.
