What can Penetrol be used for?

---

 

Primers (for either wood or metal), varnishes, and stains, as well as oil- or alkyd-based paints, may be used in conjunction with Penetrol, which can also be used on its own as a sealer and primer. It enhances their capacity to disseminate and permeate the surface that is being coated, making it possible for them to bind and adhere to almost any surface, even glass.

 

What exactly is Penetrol? It is Floetrol’s sibling, but it is intended for use with oil-based paints and primers. It is less common than Floetrol because oil-based paints are being phased out. It helps to level the paint and reduces brush marks.

 

It has a high solids content, a low odour, is colourless, and is non-toxic when dry, making it ideal for indoor use. It works its way into crevices and pinholes in any surface that regular paint cannot reach.  It dries to a tough yet flexible finish there, forming a strong bonding film for the next coat of paint. Unlike thinners, it does not evaporate; instead, it becomes a part of the paint mixture, increasing coverage per gallon. 

 

Penetrol on Fibreglass –

 

It restores the lustre of faded fibreglass. Primes, seals, and bonds to make paint stick, it can be used alone or as a paint additive for oil-based paints, metal or wood primers, varnishes, and stains.

 

Paint with Penetrol –

 

To ensure compatibility, always mix a small amount of Penetrol with the paint you’re using. Stir in Penetrol when the paint starts to set up too quickly.

 

Does Penetrol go off?

 

It is stable and long-lasting, and it compensates for the negative effects that weather and surface conditions have on paint. Unlike thinners, it does not evaporate and actually produces more paint.

 

Does it stop rust?

 

Penetrol Anti-Rust Spray – easily stops and prevents further rusting. Simply saturate the rusted surface with Penetrol until it is shiny. Continue with any oil, alkyd, or water-based paint after it has dried.

 

Can you wax over Penetrol?

 

Refrain from splattering it on the surface. Instead, soak the centre of the rag and apply in circular motions (wax on) while keeping the rag wet. If you use too little, you will get poor coverage on the first coat.

 

Can you paint over Penetrol?

 

Penetrol makes it simple to paint. Apply the paint after thoroughly stirring it.

 

How do you get it out of steel?

 

A good portion of the dirt and penetrol should be removed by power washing. Because it is just a collection of petroleum distillates, any good solvent wash will probably do a good job.

 

Penetrol is the absolutely best product for renewing old wood and thinning oil-based paint.
