Thinking of painting it on the logs interior. Most reviews spoke about using a sprayer. Brushing it on in interior OK? In the process of removing the old clear coat on the logs and was told for any product to be successful the logs must be porous...

I've never tried brushing it, but I think that would work. Dry wood absorbs it easily. But it leaves a whitish residue on the surface after it dries, so that might hinder staining. That I can't help you with. Try it out first in an out of the way corner.

I would think you need to clean the inside with something because the POR-15 paint won't stick to the penetrating oil. I used Muratic acid but it won't do the cleaning part either but it will pit the tank for good adhesion.

I waited 24 hrs for it to soak in. Then I used a wood stripper on it because mine was sticky. Then I used odorless mineral spirits to clean up the residual wood stripper, then I washed all that w/denatured alcohol and let that dry until there was no sign of wetness on the wood (48 hrs). Also, to make sure the bugs were gone (they were) and then put a finish on it. The stuff works and u can paint after it but the wood has to be clean.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame.This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.

To paint it you could either prime it first and then paint.....or maybe you don't even need to prime. Just use a 2" brush ...I think it would be pretty easy.

You are putting oil on a porous unfinished wood. I would think, yes. You could always test in a small spot first.

I think yes you could paint it. But a strong advice think twice. Like " kireviewer " said, please contact Polk before you do it. If not the end finish with your job will not give you a good result. Good luck to to you.

I applied it only to the outside fireplace insert, so I do not know. I believe this paint is tested, however, to very high temperatures much higher than a wood fireplace. If it is properly cured I think it would be fine on the inside of the fireplace as well. Just check the manufacturer's claims as to heat tolerance and application. Hope this helps.

I used the spray can and shot the whole cavity, came out smooth as glass and still looks great after months of use - make sure you have good ventilation. Guess it depends on whether you're covering a chip / scratch - I'd get the brush-on if available but for a larger area go with the spray and sand everything well before painting...

I would suggest not using it then. It comes as a powder and you ad water to it. It feels like you are just putting water on the wood, but supposedly, it protects it and does allow it to turn gray naturally.On the website it says some forest service use it, so it must do something right. Google the product and you can talk to the maker, Maybe they can suggest a way to stabalize the wood before protecting it. I have talked to them before. Hope that helps.Randy

I brushed it onto the stainless steel stove pipe so it would match our stove. With 2 coats, I havent noticed any brush marks, but I havent gotten right up on it. From 2-3 feet away, it just looks matted black, and you dont get the runs you'll get with spray paint.

I actually painted my with interior paint and they look awesome. If you plan on them being left outside use exterior. But interior will work if your putting them in a garage or building for storage

I brushed mine with a food-grade oil rather than a stain to make it resist water at least for a while. This type of wood can also be left alone.

I haven't washed it, yet, but, when I do, I plan to fill the sink or a bowl with sudsy Woolite and swish it around in it, then rinse it. I would guess that soaking it would ruin the wood finish. BTW, I love this brush!!

I considered doing the same thing. But instead, ended up keeping it inside, once I realized I had enough room. The paint seems to be a powder coating, so it's baked on. My concern would be for the wooden bar. If I had kept it outside, I would have sprayed all the metal parts with a waterproofer and kept it covered with a tarp.

I've never had a problem with this painter. I had to get under a cabinet I'm refinishing and was pointing the sprayer up, it didn't leak or have an issue with residual paint going in different places. I would say however, if you are painting eaves just do it on a day that doesn't have any wind. You know how that can get :)

Hi Jake. I think that it would be best to paint it. It has a non-reflective paint on it, making it hard to see. I hope that it works out. Enjoy it!! Pat King.
