I've had success with dispensing POR-15 (Paint Over Rust) into much smaller
jars and then using them more often than the gallon quantity. I think my last
gallon was poured into 25 smaller containers. I also buy a quantity of $0.50
brushes enabling me to throw them away. I also use 'clear' as spots on the
driveway don't show up if it rains!
The instructions must have been written by James Bond, they say, "like a
great martini, it must be stirred and not shaken." However, this I've NOT
adhered to, perhaps someone can tell me why this is important.
(Unfortunately, Randall dosen't use POR-15). At any rate, I shake my little
container, use it and the brush up, and then sleep extra soundly at night! Go
ahead someone, Burst my bubble!
Also, perhaps a better method for dispensing POR-15, would be to screw a small
screw of somekind into the bottom of the $130 gallon POR-15. I've heard that
this is possible, but I didn't won't to unscrew it 20 times. Is this really a
better way?
BTW, I've heard the best deals on this stuff is on Ebay. According to
Por-15.com they want :
Pint............ $27.25
Quart......... $40.75
Gallon........ $130.00
According to my calculations, if you order the same amount as a gallon from
them (but in 8 cans that are pint size) you pay $88 dollars just for the
priviledge of stirring smaller cans! (Of course, I could 'stir' my little
containers if it's that important!)
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
