rustoleum paint says to thin w/ xylol for spraying only. Is xylene the same product

Yes. Xylol is the actual chemical name. Xylene is a brand. There is no difference between Xylene and Xylol. Xylene is the brand-name of the chemical xylol. Both are petrochemical solvents and chemically identical.

We sprayed ours with clear rustoleum before using it. After one Minnesota winter, it looks awesome!

Hello Irtafa, The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! Linda Foam It Green

I was told by Rust-Oleum that you could but it did not work for me. I really like Rust-Oleum products but this one failed.

Yes....The Permatex Rust Treatment works great. It blackens the rusted metal and is ready for painting. I have been using this brand for over 25years. It has good results. A very good primer for painting.

Rustoleum copper coat (1% copper in solution) is water-based & very - i'd say the best i've run across - easy to clean-up. Just remember to use hot water & the brush will actually be fluffy when you're done! It dries quickly & in my experience, where i had to leave the applied lumber outside exposed to the elements - not its normal use - it weathered well, with little if any loss of the coating. Good luck!

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.

the only paint i have used that was thick was asphalt aluminum non fibered paint and it worked fine. the only complaint that I have with the sprayer is that i think it was a store display model, it was new but it didn't come with instructions or the original box.

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paint I was used with air sprayer . This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

I used Rustoleum the first time and it did not last well. The second time I used the For Dummies brand. This one seemed to last much longer. Don't trust the application tools either kit gives you. They won't last. Good luck.

Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do. BUT Rustoleum has a great product called, Tile Transformations...I am preparing to use it on my tile kitchen counters and backsplash after using their Deck Restore this summer that saved me thousands of dollars in porch and deck replacement. They have come up with some great products for DIY folks. Go to the Rustoleum.com website and get the skinny on your tile backsplash. Or you can give them a call, their folks are really helpful. Any of their products take time (but little skill). I think you will be pleased...and no, I don't work for them, but sure do recommend them. Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do.

oh sorry....I mis-read your question thinking you were looking for a finisher. I agree with one of the respondents...don't use a spray on top of crackle medium. Part of the charm of the medium is brush strokes and their length and thickness that affect the crackling nicely. Terri C.

I didn't add any thinner to mine. I found it sprayed pretty well without it.

Nope. In my experiance with It it won't spray anything thick. Even just regular paint. Not unless u thin it with a ton of water.

I didn't use xylene to clean. I just rinsed it with soap and water several times and it was good to go.

Diluting is a personal choice. Thin coats will mean more coats, it's going to depend on what your painting. If you were using a brush or roller you would end up using 2x the amount of paint than a sprayer. So just experiment on something similar too see how thin you can go. Hope that helps.
