help my sanity-- spray paint troubles

Cyanic hardeners will speed that up, but you can't add them to spray paint already in the can. LLoyd |

Yes... weeks upon weeks sometimes before Rustoleum fully "cures out".
You shouldn't use their "Rusty Metal Primer" on clean metal either, because there's too much fish oil in it, so it dries even slower and the paint won't adhere very well. David "Lloyd E.
