Update.

Well it seems that the new batch of two spray cans seems to be acting as
normal. Might of been a bad batch??? Not sure, but it seems to be
behaving.

With this bad batch in mind. What is the advantage of the slow dry time as
compared to the competions 12 minute dry time?

Thanks,

My information, from generally unreliable sources, is that Rustoleum uses
fish oil which intentionally dries very slowly. Once the oils in a paint
dry up, the rust protection barrier is gone.

That said, what sort of wood are you concerend about protecting from rust?

If you're not concerned about rust, RUSToleum might be the wrong
product Specifically, metal does not move as much as wood (in response
to moisture ... heat moves them both somewhat) and does not need as
flexible of a coating as wood.

See Bob Flexners book about finishing. I just got it last week and found
LOTS of new (to me) information about finishes.
