I want to use this product sometime this spring. I am curious if it is ok to first "paint" the areas around vents, AC units, skylights, edges, etc...being real carefull not to get "splatter" on adjacent areas with the first gallon, then the next day or...

I would have to say Yes. I did basically the opposite, spreading the material around the vents, AC unit, antenna mount and edges of the roof. Then the same day filled in the rest of the roof. About a week later I noticed areas that were not well covered and went over those spots with extra material. It is not the most even job that could be done but it is all covered with a relatively thick coat. Just remember to refridgerate the unused portion below 40 degree, covered so as not to get a thick film on top. I used a gallon plastic pan to store the extra material with a plastic bag covering the pan. I should have placed plastic wrap floating on top of the material then covered it all to stop a thick coat of film. Good luck with covering your roof, it is a lot of work that will pay off in the end.

Hi, from what the manufacturer suggests, it is OK to paint over GOOP. I'm not sure about putting GOOP over the paint though. It may not adhere properly. You could try a test area first....This stuff is really strong holding. I hope this helps.

Yes you can but need to reduce it with a thinner so no clogging will occur test it out and see what you're able to do. Thinner I.e. drops of nail polish remover not to much... If to much you will see the paint look like a air base sag from the air pressure... Like I said before try it out... Always learn about how what you can do with it hope I helped

I painted the lower unit of my outboard motor with it. It is in fresh water all summer long and looked real good when I pulled my boat in the fall. I used one can and live on an 80 acre lake. I would ask Moeller what they think. I worked for an auto company. A car gives off a lot of emissions from the paint for 6 months or so. You might have to test with goldfish. Good luck

not sure why Friedrich would recommend not covering the unit (when not in use). I live in the Northeast and this unit is not built as robustly as the true through the wall models so in the Winter I do cover the outside of the unit. I have the unit installed through the wall. If this is the way your unit is setup, to clean it pull the unit out of the sleeve...clean it and slip it back in. ...P.S...once out of the sleeve you could rinse the back of the unit out with a GENTLE spray of the hose. Do not spray the front of the unit with the controls.

I purchased a gallon Ornamec last fall to treat my yard for Bermuda grass. I did not open the gallon until today when I treated my 1/3 acre yard. I only used about 1/2 of the gallon and I think I have my formula a little strong for the 4 gal sprayer I use. I had a quart that I had previously used to treat my flower beds (twice spr 2012 and fall 2012) and part of my yard fall 2012. It does not take a lot of the Ornamec to treat a sq ft.

I have no experience with that paint and can't say yes or no. My general feeling is paints have some volatile matter which might give out fumes and would might affect the food & health. Just take metal brush run with it around and apply oil. It should be ok. I got a cover as well for this grill, but didn't do much benefit. I could see rust all over the place. So I turned back to old method (brush and oil). Planning to keep it in the basement or in garage when not in use.

there is no R value of this product. It makes the surface of the paint reflect the heat back into the room, much like a pc of tin foil would do. You do not need a primer, but if you use one, have it tinted to almost the same color of the final coat. I washed the surface with TSP first to make sure the surface was real clean and dust free. I highly recommend that if you are going to change the color of a room you are going to paint.do your normal steps and paint the room first with the color of choice. Then paint over with this product. I know that this is more work, but the results are almost breath taking.When people started coming over the house after our remodeling was done( all 6 rooms),the walls was almost always the first subject to be spoke.The product is easy to apply, use good quality rollers and brushes.We have also noticed the the south side of the house is cooler than last year, which means the product is reflecting some of the sun's heat away from coming in the house. I hope this answer helps you. Thomas P.

I myself did. I just followed the drying time on the paint i used, which was about 6 hours. It might be better if you wait longer in humid conditions. The only problem i had was I used it over white paint and it yellowed some. Its not a problem since it was on a worktable. I don't know if the same thing would happen with other colors. I hope this helps.

I simply sprayed it on and let it work. I will re-spray some areas this Spring. It does take patience (some six months) to see results.

We've only had ours completed for about a month, but no issues so far. I really think you have to follow directions exactly as stated, sand between coats, and I think you'll love the results!

I used this product around my chimmney and other areas of roof flashing with great results so far. You might want to sand {Scuff} the metal and wipe clean with 50/50 alcohol & water first. I still used an outdoor caulking along the edges first. Hope this helps.

Yes BUT... It gets hot so you should use the same type of paint that is used for a radiator (steam or hot water) which can tolerate the heat. This is typically an oil or epoxy paint and NOT a latex. Premium spray paints such as Rustoleum probably are the best choice if the can be used for a radiator. Remove the label from the unit, clean & remove all the residual adhesive, then clean the entire surface you are going to paint, do one final cleaning with alcohol, (after this cleaning avoiding touching with your bare skin what you will be painting), than spray the premium paint lightly, apply a second light coat according to paint instructions (do not sand). Allow to fully dry & cure BEFORE turning it on. WARNING it will smell for a while even when fully dried & cured. Allow it to operate for 24 to 48 hours with NO towels on it, then let it cool (turn it off) & then use as described. Important note: even if unpainted, always have all the towel bars covered even if just with one hanging from the top bar and covering the others (otherwise it will run at maximum power, wasting energy, damaging your paint & act as a room heater). Hope this helps.

I apologize for this late reply. I spay the area that I can reach ( my car, it is everywhere but bottom) - it seems to be good enough, to still work well. I have sprayed it on a car where it was hard to reach the top/bottom - but if you have the time you could spray, then move your car forward a couple of times.? Hope this is useful. I live in Minnesota and think it is a great product! :)

I thought I would have problem this year because I didn't do anything at the end of the season, but to my surprise everything work perfectly. Now I wouldn't suggest it but I worked out. Matter a fact I just bought another complete set. Hope that helps. Oh... Your answer ... I would take a air nozzle and blow the lines out before winter. Well that what I will do anyway. Enjoy.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

I actually just got mine to work after a lot of research. Someone posted in a review that you must keep some space between the paint jar and the airbrush. That little niche where you attach the brush and jar? Dont put in the jar all the way. Another thing, is that if the can is too cold (from extended use), you must warm it up to get it to spray at a proper pressure. DO NOT heat up the can too much, just run its bottom under ot water for 2 - 3 seconds, or warm water for like 3 - 5. I actually just keep the can in my lap for warmth - it extends the amount of spraying i can do before the can becomes too cold.
