How well will this work to paint PVC piping. Also, will i need to use sand paper on the PVC before painting?

I have used it on PVC piping. I applied it this spring, and it still looks newly painted. As per instructions, I did **not** sand prior to application. So far, I am a happy customer. If I have seen any downside, it does not clean off readily with paint thinner.

I used it to repair some 21/2' pvc pipe and it seemed to work ok. i know it bonds very well to wood and metal. it says it works for boat repair. I mix it on a sheet of lexan, because i saw a repair tip that said pc-11 doesn't set up as quickly on lexan. i assume this means that it doesn't bond as well on lexan.

If you use a good primer before you paint, it should be okay. I recommend Stix primer by Benjamin Moore. I work in a hardware store that sells paint, and this is a good product for your project.

The roll it self is fairly heavy, I made my own stand out of PVC pipe. It works pretty well and was pretty cheap. Its also pretty great to be able to make it how tall or wide you want. There are several different websites with directions if you just Google it. If you size it right you can just slide the paper onto the PVC.

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although the instructions say no need for priming... I still would probably use a fine grain sandpaper on the vinyl first, then spray in thin layers spraying each layer within 12 hours of each other. After 7 days it should be nice solid for you. I wouldn't try it on something as flexible as sheet vinyl.

If you are not planning on re-painting, then no. HOWEVER, if you plan on painting the deck afterward, I would use 120 grit paper to smooth things out and then give it a nice coat or two of outdoor deck paint.... On a side note, I use mine when I am performing prep / body work on aircraft, and occasionally I will use it for sand and buff applications, however, that is a discussion for a different thread.

According to manufacturer's info on package, it can be used on PVC pipe. They recommend wrapping with insulation to hold in the heat, however in the case of PVC pipe, I would not seal it off at either end for fear that it would retain too much heat.

Even though it's made of PVC, I don't think paint would hold up on it. There were some beige options available when I ordered mine, though.

In my opinion it will not sand well or hold stain. Possibly would be able to paint, but would require roughing up or putting a primer coat first. Not really wood. It is an ok piece if it it not going to be highly used. Will not hold up to high use. Just my opinion

I have never tried mine on a pvc pipe or fitting. I would not buy one just for this unless the pipe is almost impossible to replace. I have used mine to repair plastic parts that are expensive to replace or no longer made. The welder is great for the jobs I have used it for but I have not used it to repair a pipe that would be subject to water or air pressure.

I used it over Por Putty as a sealer ..I have not tried to sand it but would think it would be sand-able.. with something like a demel but not by hand.. the stuff is like black tooth paste and like the por putty will dry hard..being paste like it spreads very easy, so not much sanding was needed..I hope this was a help

This is a reply to an old post but a warning to others. DO NOT PUT SAND directly inside the posts as the sand will get wet and rot the posts from the inside. Best thing is to get 2 inch PVC and fill it with the sand and cap it off at the top. The 2 inch pvc will fit nicely inside the 3 Inch Diameter posts.

Use PVC blue like you use for white PVC pipe. Don't put glue on the inside of the joint because it will block the internal valve.

Personally, I would use PVC regardless, I'm sure it would work, but the paper tube may bow over time

I went to Lowes and got 3_10ft pvc pipes, and using my 9x22 backdrop canvas and have no issues. I'm thinking my pvc is heaver than your paper?

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

It will not hurt PVC pipes. I would wrap the pipe with aluminum foil first to help spread out the heat
