Just make sure to prepare the surface properly or the POR15 will come off in sheets.

Somebody once told me that an unused piece of a quart can of POR-15 lasts better if refrigerated. I have no idea if it's any better stored "chilled" than at room temp but I've kept mine in a small dorm fridge in the garage for several years and it's always good when I pop the cap.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I second the partial can in fridge storage plan. Seems to last a very long time when stored that way... I'd recommend avoiding primary refrigerator if possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

Smallest can you can buy for your needs and PPE is a must. I think the screws in the lid is a great idea as well. I’m not a fan of putting anything other than beer/food in a refrigerator [color=#000000][b]EVER!

Not a big fan of POR. If you don't have any rust I would not use this instead of epoxy primer and a chassis paint of your choice.

I'd recommend avoiding primary refrigerator if possible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) This is the same reason why you are supposed to store Cyanoacrylate glue (crazy or super glue) in the fridge or freezer. The relative humidity is much lower at cold temperatures. Since both paints use humidity / moisture to cure (same for super glue), less relative humidity means longer shelf life. |
