I hand painted a machete for halloween, and am wondering if this will work on metal?

It will seal it. Make sure you use two coats. And yes, ventilation is a MUST! Do it outside or in a garage. Bathroom will work, too, with a fan.

It totally works on metal to seal paint. They're not kidding about ventilation, however, and it'll melt styrofoam.

The label says it is good on "wood, paper, metal, etc." ... Hope that helps.

Just oil, nothing more. Wipe it off, or leave it on there, doesn't really matter. I HAVE to keep oil on my katana, actually most blades that are durable will need to be oiled to prevent rust, including this cheap cheese-o machete. I don't oil the machete, I don't mind a bit of rust.

yes,but remember, only over low heat such as your simmer setting. Higher heat settings discolor the metal and could potentially char the wood handle.

I don't think so. It's more for plastics and fiberglas. I have never tried it on metal, but, I don't think this is the product for that job.

yes most or bits for metal can be used on wood but not vice versa. Some wood bits are for wood only for example forstner bits

There is nothing in the instructions that tells a user what type metal this solution works on. It works on carbon steel. I am sorry I cant be of more help. It is worth a try.

I would say yes, it would dull the effects of the metallic paint. Since this is a wax it creates a barrier that will cause a slight clouding of any finish. I would really suggest this for only unpainted or stained woods since it will bring out the grains in those. I can't really see this working well for any painted finish. However, I would be happy to try it out and let you know how it reacts!

Yeah it's made for that but, if you hit metal it will dent the machete more than others (diff type of metal)

I haven't tried it on fabric to metal. I've used it on just about everything else, like fabric to an oil painting, copper sheeting to cardboard.

Sorry, but I'm not really an expert on it. I would assume that if the can says that it's good for metal, then you can.

If your machete is 18" it should work out fine. ie : length wise , but remember the tip if the blade should be protected as I explained earlier. Good Luck !!

Yes, I have cut copper roof flashing with it. In order for it to cut metal you only use the thick dies. It won't' work on the sizzlits. Use the Vintaj embossing folders made for embossing metal for the best results.

Karl, I bought this kit after I saw it on a TV show - not an infomercial (LOL!) - and bought it with all the heads that I saw available for it. So basically my answer is I don't know but I don't think so just based on what I've seen available. I HOPE that they do or will make that brush because you're absolutely right that it would be great for outdoor/metal items like that! I know that I'm not giving you a definitive answer but I hate asking questions and never having them answered so figured I'd at least let you know that someone is paying attention and hoping that what you are looking for either exists or arrives at some point soon! Take care! Wendi :)

I haven't tried any of them on metal, but I don't think it would work right. I'd stick with wood and vinyl.

It should both metal have to have good heat to bind. Also this made for light metal or small pieces. I use it to solder horse shoe nails with silver solder. If you're using brass it will have to have a torch and the aluminum might as well. That is about all I can tell you.

I would use the Lansky sharpening puck. I wouldnt use metal files, that would grind down the thin metal of the machete horrendously, when all you need is an edge.
