Should I pay for advantages gained during play?

GURPS Frequently Asked Questions: Basic Set
That is up to the GM. Some GMs will assess a "point debt" equal to the cost of the new advantage - negative unspent points, in effect - and require you to put some or all of your earned points toward paying it off. Other GMs will just raise your point total and get on with the game. There is no "right" answer. One rule easy to follow is that advantages consciously pursued by the players must be paid for in full. Others, who are the result of events happening during play, are free.

What are the advantages of oil paint vs. acrylic paint for interior woodwork?

Untitled Page
In the satin and gloss finishes which are commonly used on woodwork, oil enamels traditionally exhibited a richness, touch and leveling ability which was unmatched by waterborne paints. However, with the introduction of Eco, many professional painters and designers believe they have discovered an odorless, waterborne alkyd, which can be used interchangeably with traditional Hollandlac oil enamels.

What are the advantages of a CF200 drysuit vs. a FLX50/50 drysuit and vice versa?

DUI - Diving Unlimited International Virtual Customer Servic...
The patented crushed neoprene used for the CF200 is the most durable material available for drysuits. It is so tough we use it to make kneepads and boots for our other suits! Given this ruggedness the material is heavier than other fabrics. Although totally dry inside, the outer nylon layer absorbs water making it heavier still when wet, and requires about as long as a wetsuit does to dry.

What are the advantages of self-don vs. shoulder-entry drysuits?

DUI - Diving Unlimited International Virtual Customer Servic...
Aside from the obvious advantage of being able to get in and out of the suit unassisted, self-don suits have other positive features as well. The telescoping torso on a self-don suit allows for an excellent fit with complete range of motion. That is to say, the suit is actually fitted at the legs and hips, while the telescoping torso provides the extra material needed to reach or bend without adding extra bulk.

What are the advantages of a TLS350 drysuit vs. a 30/30 drysuit and vice versa?

DUI - Diving Unlimited International Virtual Customer Servic...
The TLS350 is unsurpassed as the suit capable of handling the broadest range of diving conditions. Its extreme durability and lightweight flexibility are second to none. This allows divers to use the suit in the warm waters of Florida to the chilly seas in Antarctica by simply varying the insulation worn underneath. The 30/30 drysuit was designed for divers who dive specifically in warmer waters and climates. It is a slender cut, low drag design to accommodate lightweight insulation only.

What are the advantages of synthetic vs. natural bristles?

SOS Painting
For latex paints, you should always use a brush with synthetic bristles. Natural bristle brushes are not recommended for latex paints, because natural bristles absorb the water in the paint, swell up and lose their shape. For alkyd or oil paints, varnishes and shellacs, either a natural or synthetic bristle brush can be used. When applying a glossy alkyd paint or an oil varnish to a smooth surface, a natural bristle brush will provide the best finish.

The TLS is DUI’s best selling suit. It is light and flexible and dries very quickly. It is also much tougher than it appears.

The TLS is the preferred suit of many recreational divers, underwater photographers, and cave divers.
