Por 15 questions

[Jeff La]

For those who used Por 15 what size containers did you buy it in. I'm getting ready to start some work on the truck and I need some for other projects but what I've read on it, it doesn't last long once opened. It would be a slow project as I have others going on, I know I need over a gallon but it won't be used all at once. Thanks Jeff

POR-15 is a good product. Check my website and look at the tips and tricks section. Buy the quart size. Drill a 1/4" hole in the lid but do NOT remove the lid. Use foil tape to reseal the hole. Another idea is to use a 1/2" head bolt and washer and then screw it down into the hole. It will make a good seal. I have used POR-15 on smooth metal and it will peel off easily. It clings well to rusty surfaces after the scale rust is wire brushed. It also loves surfaces that have been media blasted. The coverage is really good but only apply a very thin layer. Use 2 thin coats rather than one thick coat. Never pour back into the original container.

Thanks for the tips, I can use a sheetmetal roofing screw with the washer to seal it again, I would have never thought of that. Thanks again.

We bought it a gallon at a time, then also bought 4-5 quart cans, stirred it well, then poured it into the qt cans. used the qt cans 1 at a time had no problems......Kieth
