Most of the jobs I do are covered by the 8 ounce can and a little goes a
long way. Down side is once you open the can your commited time wise.
The stuff does not last on the shelf well. Only order what you need. It
will hold a month or two tops after opening. And I wouldn't plan on
keeping an un-opened can for more than six months.

Hope this helps

Flush and backfill the can with argon from the TIG.

I've had expensive automotive urethane clearcoats that "shelf out" in
7 days once opened be still good after more than 5 years in argon.

I think the POR stuff cures by exposure to moisture. Welding argon
is inert and extremely dry.




Golly, you guys would complicate getting laid to the point
that nobody would try...


A piece of plastic sheet cut an inch or so larger diameter than the
can. Lay it on top of the paint. It seals to the sides all by itself.
