cold galvinized primer (zinc)

[toddjg]

Has anyone used this I was going to use it on a old wilton vise I'm rebuilding is it worth using or should i just use paint?

I have used it personally I don't like it. We used it on places where we cut galvinzed I beams at work Very runny and I think it looks cheap when you paint something your going to look at alot. I would just use paint or possibly a wrinkle paint if it was me.

I tried using it and it runs like crazy

It used to be a lot better but now days it just runs. And is flat. Use paint.

Is that the same stuff you'd use for weld-through primer?

I have used it many times years ago, but I really do not think I would use it on a vise, I would just paint the vise and be done with it.

I used it on the galvanized pool walls when I put in a new liner this spring. Like others stated it is very messy and runs as it is a very heavy spray and the nozzle on the can is probably 3-4 times as large as a normal spray can.

I doubt you can get a "good" looking finish out of a rattle can of the stuff.

In my situation it is behind the liner and I didn't care what it looked like just that "hopefully" it will do it's job. I'll find out in 10-15 years I hope.

Unless you're going to leave the vise out in the rain, I'd just use regular primer.
