I plan on using this on aluminum rectangle boxes. What would you recommend on how to apply this product. The box has one open end.

If you plan to pour it in and let it dry as a thick brick shape in the box, Melamine board with either silicon mold release on it, or plastic wrap over the board on the end you dont want it pouring out of. If you mean you are just gonna put it on to get a thin layer on all sides of it, I don't think this will be the right product for you. I would go with a spray on poly. This product is a thick, self leveling viscous liquid. It won't stick to the aluminum long enough to dry evenly.

Pretty much any indoor/outdoor polyurethane spray. There's like four finishes from matte, satin, semi-gloos and gloss. Pick your poison.

I honestly don't know the answer. You could try a small test piece to see, and maybe use some sort of spray release just incase. That usually will help in most cases, unless the release reacts with one of the materials or the other.

I am using it for that very thing right now. I tried double sided carpet tape, but that didn't really work. When we used it for sound proofing we used T Pins - ADVANTUS Gem 1.5-Inch T-Pins, 100 per Box (87T) as we wanted to take them down with little to no damage to the walls. They worked quite well.

Btw....wonderful tool be ready to get wet!! Don't spray to close to building or home unless you have brick walls. Aluminum siding will fly off if you spray too close. If spraying gutters I suggest to be prepared to spray entire home. It's A Mess especially if they're really dirty. Alert your neighbors before hand , because they will be affected as well. Oh!!!! Get ready to spray their home too...it's a mess!!

Hi Nathan, I agree with MOzarkian regarding the spray. I'd make sure to cover the entire piece, front and back well. I live in Florida, and we too decorate outside walls......clear sealant is my best friend!!! You might have less issue with rust as where you are it is a much drier climate.

I mounted this in an aluminum box with a cover of the same material. Plastic would have been easier to cut the rectangle out for the meter, but aluminum wasn't too hard.I used a drill and drilled around the perimeter of the meter and used a Dremel tool to smooth up the opening. Hope this helps.

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.

You need to create a false edge with something. I've used tape around the perimeter that sticks up beyond the edge, creating a "pool" that gets filled with the product. This requires sanding and finishing when dry. Follow the instructions for best results.

I only used this product at 1st. I changed to "Transport Mikron" for things closer to me and "Demand" for the cracks I didn't touch. Both must dry before touching them. Transport is more effective. Go to http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com and read about products and other reviews. Transport was actually suggested by an exterminator (it is what they use). You will need to buy a 2 gallon pump sprayer from a farm supply store also

I wouldn't use this product on aluminum at all... I did it and spots/blotches occurred!!!

Just use some wire wool or I used an old BBQ steel brush ... to remove as much as you can... Shake the can really really well before applying.

I think double sided tape would work, I bought some but haven't gotten around to applying it.

I have never used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to try it because it is so strong when cured. I have NEVER been disappointed in this product over 10 years.

I would use formica or rubber glue adhesive, make sure you roll it on the corners good because that is where it is going to start lifting first. Make sure you have a roller and roll from center to edge. You might want to put a clear coat on it after you done to prevent it from drying out and curling.

I would do what the instructions say. It dries soft flexible. Especially in an enclosed humid environment like you application. Wait.

I cannot give you an answer because I used it with a primer and only used this paint on some hardware for drawers from ikea. If you can prime the aluminum, I would assume it will be fine. Btw...the hardware I painted had a bit of a matte finish to it already too. The gold color itself is really nice. Sorry...

I used the product to cover a chip in my bathtub soap dish. It worked well for this. I would advise you to "rough up" the area of the burn, and then apply the Rustoleum product. It will stick better that way and last longer.
