Default POR 15 info

To Rob, Jordan, and Bob,

Thanks for all the great info and handy hints on preparation, storing, and cleanup of POR 15.

Think I will go the disposable brush route as opposed to spraying as it is a moot point trying to get a perfect finish on an already pitted pieces of steel that is hidden from view anyway. The only purpose, in my case, is to make the tyres go on and off easier and prevent rusting inside the wheels.

I don't really want to invest in a full painters hood either for a once off job and after reading the posts would not consider spraying it with anything less than that PPE. It's pretty nasty stuff along with the cleanup chemicals if not handled properly.

I had tried the old painter's trick of wrapping the brush in plastic food wrap between the two test coats on the wheel. It doesn't work. An hour later the bristles were as stiff as a board. Luckily it was an old el cheapo brush, and so was the second.

Cheers,
