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.

There is a rubber sanding drum attachment which is about -inch diameter on which you mount various grits of sandpaper. I guess you could smooth plastic with that. Both inside and outside curves, but will have to watch not to get the material too hot or it will melt and imbed in the sandpaper grit.

I have only used it for painting prep purposes, drywall and a wooden desk. I'm not sure about wet sanding, I'm sorry :(

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 stuff is GOOD stuff. Smells like heck though while working with it. Smell fades in short time. I used it on an ABS plastic bathtub with light fiberglass cloth and the tub is darn near as good as new now. No leaks and a strong bond IMO. I prepped the surface with methle ethel keytone witch is similar to acetone. Also scarred up the surface a bit. I would think it would work on PVC as well if not actually better than ABS like I used it for as said. You could use Acetone to prep on PVC. That's all pipe cleaner is.

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?

as has been noted its all about the paper your using...50 grit is fast, 80 a little less so...100 is a nice happy medium...120 180 are for first pass coating prep and 220 320 for finish coating prep....paint drips will depend on oil or latex...oil is harder and latex gummier ...varnish drips very hard....so heavier more aggressive paper may be needed....I like it for trim work but have found chemicals natural or synthetic more effective for larger areas.

Thermoplastics. Pick up a piece of thin wall pvc pipe about 4" long. Heat it with a heat gun. Form each end either larger or smaller while hot to fit your sander and vacuum. There you go- an instant adapter and it only took 5 minutes. Thermoplastics.

We have PVC pipes and have had no obvious problem. Seems to work well, recommended to us by the local hardware store - a place that takes matters like this, quite seriously. In fact, the have a dozen alternative products and they were strong in recommending thus one. I put it in 2-3 times per year and leave a box on the floor with a list of dates. Smells a bit when you dump the stuff in the hopper and flush. So best to be leaving after application. And, best not to use caustic materials that drain to tank. Kills off te good bugs.

I would not go with PVC. It's too flexible. I would use cored paper roll or get a Manfrotto Aluminum Core for Uncored Paper. This is the 9ft model but there are shorter and longer ones. They break down into shorter pieces for transport and while more expensive than PVC they are perfectly designed for the job. If you want to stick with PVC plan on an inside diameter of 2", but make sure the outside diameter will fit through your coreless paper roll or you'll need to re-roll the paper onto the PVC. Hope my understanding of what you are trying to accomplish was accurate and the suggestions helpful.

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 don't think so.It dries to a hard, nonflexible plastic form.If the hose expands and contracts, or flexes, it will probably crack off.I've tried it on several types of hard plastic with mixed results.It does not work well on PVC tubing, but it mentions that it will not work on PVC in the instructions.

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.

Yes , it could be used on PVC pipe, it doesn't get hot enough to damage PVC pipe.

It says it's good on PVC but doesn't say plastic in particular. My thought is it should be good but it is just a primer, not a finish coat

I tried this on white and then clear contact paper. It worked much better on the clear. With a light touch it melted the plastic but left the peel away paper intact. Make sure the tool is very hot and only use in a well ventilated space. BTW - Using contact paper is a great idea for stencil making. When I did etchings years ago I cut stencils from masking tape (tedious!). I paint on fabric now and use my sewing machine to make freezer paper stencils.

what ever you dont want to show peeling so on wire brush sand paper so on by no means do you have to get rld of all the rust this paint stops the rust and encapulates it remember they suggest to top coat this paint after proper drying you may use a color on top if you wish i suggest regular rust olium
