It contains tung oil, acrylic polymer emulsions, and Styrene Butadiene resins. Establish the accurate mixing ratio with the help of automotive paint referring technical statistics sheet.

Take liquid paint to your local disposal centre

Unlike latex paints that can be disposed of at home, oil-based paints can be difficult to dispose of due to their hazardous nature. Now of course, you as a user may be thinking “Well, I’m ok, I have been regularly tested for isocyanate levels and I used the right equipment”, or “I can work in a booth so the air is kept clean” or “The biggest issue is through the skin and I protect myself”, etc. But we would point out that just because nothing has happened yet, it doesn’t necessarily mean that nothing will happen in future. It’s certainly something to keep in mind. If you need to spray the rustoleum paint, you probably need to make it thin.

Give it to friends and family There are several types of paint and stage categories that need different treatments for efficiency. Whether your paint is lacquer, enamel, epoxy, urethane, powder, or something else, there is nothing wrong with knowing the details of adding hardener to rustoleum paint. However, when working with 2K paint in particular you need to be aware of the extensive health risks associated with working with an isocyanate-based paint. The choice of one type of hardener or another will depend on the repair size or number of parts, and on whether the repair will be partial or on the entire vehicle.
