I plan to use this spray to refinish an older formica table top. I also plan to pour Rustoleum's epoxy over it for a high gloss finish. Does anyone foresee any problems or issues?

I would think that it would work but I would use some course sand paper on the formica if it is a real smooth finish. Use the sand paper to rough up the surface so the paint will adhere better to the formica surface and give you a better painted surface that will last longer. Let the paint cure up to two days between coats of paint and two days before you use the epoxy. Hope this helps and good luck.

I painted 2 metal bird that I had outside & then sealed them with a spray epoxy once the painted cured a couple of days. I had no problems.

I used the verde green, and I found that it had pretty much of a medium glossy finish. I used it on an old gold/bronze chandelier 2 coats. This describes formicahttp://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/construction/materials/formica1.htm. I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

We have refinished multiple dining table tops and top coated with Enduro-Varnish and have had great results. We always spray the finish and it has to cure before put it in use ! Multiple coats needed for a great finish

I did just that this weekend. I put two thick coats of HNR then used dynamat extreme and it stuck very well. The only advice I could give is... make sure the surface is painted before applying HNR. You will see rust bleed through the next day if you don't. Happy sound deadening!

I read reviews that encouraged buyers to paint it with rustoleum befor first use. I did this just to be sure it didnt rust as the product was exactly what I wanted. So I have had no problems with it and have had it since February.

I am using the polish on an indoor cast iron stove, but if it gets moisture, it still rusts. I think it is more intended to improve the appearance of the stove. Maybe a high temperature paint would be more suitable for outdoors.

I used the product in my garage after applying an epoxy finish. I can not remember if I mixed it with polyurethane or epoxy for the top coat. In any case, I was a little suprised, the product worked very well. This was about 3 years ago and the top coat has held up very well. It does add some grip to the floor but I am not sure how it does.

I have with no ill effects. It will not give you the shine that you can get from painting on a liquid finish though.

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

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.

I have used this polish on my oak dining table and chairs since 2009 and have not noticed any buildup. I only need to use a small amount. I put the polish on a terry cloth towel-not directly on the furniture. I apply first against the grain and then finish with the grain. Hope this helps.

I've never had any problem with it when it comes in contact with moldings via overspray. When I get done washing my car I use this product on the painted surfaces. Then I dress my tires with a gel. I use Armor-All tire gel. I then use the gel on all of my plastic moldings(side-view mirrors, under-paint trim areas, window moldings etc.) and it works and looks great. Keeps the plastic looking new. Just use a good, strong cloth to apply it with. I'm sure any gel would do. Gels work better than sprays for plastic surfaces in my opinion.

I used it on s table top and it got a scratch. I would not use it again because of the cost, smell and extra long dry time. I prefer oil based poly.

I use it on any of my would projects. I make furniture and accessories from reclaimed items. Any items that may be used for food i always use beeswax for the finish. It should work well on the table as long as it is a smooth surface. For a more durable surface I would suggest at least 3 coats with a good buffing in between coats. To make the buffing easier on the table surface I use an orbital buffer, the type you would use to buff a car. I have one that I use just for my furniture projects. It is a small one put out by Turtle Wax. Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/251425474054?lpid=82 Good luck with your project.

I believe it is just a painted particle board, so yes, you could paint it. I'd start with a Zinsser Bulls Eye-123 primer to make sure since I'm not sure what it's painted with. That stuff allows you to even paint over formica, so you could be sure your paint will adhere and be durable.

I tried the spray, and it has not lasted that long. So I think I would go brush on next time. You really need several coats I think, because what looks covered may still have enough porosity for the humidity to get behind and rust. Also, this stuff reallt smells, so I'd take it outside next time.

I have used this product on various projects. To get the best results, you should remove any excess material (loose and flaking rust, peeling paint, etc.). You can just apply it to any rusty spot and help interrupt the rust cycle. If you have too much material over the base/core rusty metal, it may not react to halt the on going rusting action.
