Morning All,
Well, Ian, I was in the shed the other day and for no real reason grabbed an aerosol of penetrol and sprayed a test piece with a thin film. Piece has a mixture of surface rust and the original enamel (?) paint. It was nice warm, dryish day, popped in a corner to minimise dust.
Results are great! And as you said fully touch dry in a little over 24 hours. Seems to have retained the colour of the original paint nicely!
I remember one job on a horse float where I was cursing the stuff. Took forever to dry and wanted to fry the enamel it came into contact with. On reflection it was winter and I was doing the job outside, had sloshed the stuff around so probably had stupidly thick film thicknesses, and the enamel it was frying was only a couple of days old so that bit was my own silly fault! Doing the job outside I had all sorts of muck in it.
I know what you mean Mowerfreak. Get that feeling myself.
Perhaps one of the reasons why old cop shows seem to be from a million years ago might be to do with the cops being dressed in an ironed shirt and professional headwear instead of overalls with reflective stripes and a baseball cap generally kitted out like the tactical response team.
Cheers,
