Too long on the shelf

3 years ago

I had a lot of trouble stirring the paint with a thick solid layer on the bottom of the can. It must have sat on the shelf for a very long time. I needed the repair completed quickly and made it work but I should have returned it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Should I use a primer on wood before applying water based tremclad

7 months ago

1 Answer

A: Hi Dave, Great question! Our Tremclad Rust Paint cures very stiff and rigid and does not allow for any flexibility. A wood surface is going to expand and contract and will be quite flexible, and the paint will not be able to flex with the wood causing it will crack and chip off, even with a primer. For wood, we recommend our Painter's Touch brush on paint or our Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X spray paint instead.

1 Answer

A: La peinture est non-toxiques une fois sec, et sans danger pour l'utilisation sur les meubles, ou des jouets pour enfants. Comme tout revêtement, cependant, les copeaux secs de TREMCLAD ne doivent pas être ingérés, et ne devraient donc pas être utilisés sur les jouets qui pourraient trouver dans la bouche des enfants.
