I agree, that stuff is deadly if you were to inhale the spray. I take the usual precautions I wear a mask, and rubber gloves and make sure the area is well ventilated, but I also brush it on.
I do this for many reasons:
- Atomized POR-15 would be deadly
- I don't think I could ever clean it out of my gun
- I would have to thin it with Trimethylbenzene a.k.a. Naphtha which is in itself very bad stuff.
- Thinning it has to affect the durability of the application.
- The "self leveling" properties of POR-15 is incredible. I have never seen a brush stroke on a finished project.

This kinda makes me nervous can I ask you a couple of questions?
Did you prep all the surfaces with POR-15's "Metal Ready" before applying the paint? Did you spray it on or did you brush it on?
