Re: POR-15

[Mark Denovich <mark@domain.elided>]

POR-15 is pretty neat stuff.   It brushes on easily and coats like 
nothing I've ever seen.   A small can will go a long way.   I buy the 
six pack of small cans.  That way I don't have to worry about wasting 
any.

It's best to apply to a rough surface.   It needs some "tooth" to grab 
onto.   On virgin metal, it can be peeled off.   I generally sandblast 
the rust off parts I'm coating which leaves a perfect finish for the 
POR-15 to stick to.

Oh yeah, it sticks to fabric, hair, and skin like nothing else.   Wear 
disposable gloves, use disposable brushes, and buy some of their solvent 
for clean-up.   If you let it dry on your skin, you'll have to just wear 
it off.   I don't know how, but even when I'm careful I get the damn 
stuff everywhere.

I've also had very good luck with their POR-20 high temp paint.   A 
little will go a very, very long way with this paint.   I wish all 
paints covered as well as this stuff does.   After some rust clean-up I 
used it to protect my rear calipers, starter heat shield, center 
muffler, etc.  The only problem I had with it, was that it disagreed 
with the thin black paint that came on my CSC headers.
