The tie coat is ideal as it is thick and self leveling so will fill little pits..... and is sandable and can be recoated again if you still find too many pits in the metal.

On the lids sticking....two solutions.....one use a plastic spacer..... half of a sandwich bag....... second consider decanting the full can in two 500ml mason jars...... and use a plastic bag to keep the jar ring from glueing on the glass. The POR has a tendency to harden if too much air is trapped inside the can...... decanting in smaller jars prevents that situation.

I use "gun clean" or regular gasoline to clean the guns...... and boxes of blue nitrile disposable gloves.... also use disposable cheap paint brushes.

Happy coating....as technically POR is not a paint.

While pitting is not that much of a problem in this part of the country as it is out East, I still may give the tie coat a try, depending on the long term results of my current system.

Unfortunately Canadian tire does not carry the top coat yet so I would have to pick it up at Rondex in Winnipeg. I find their stock of POR-15 products s somewhat hit and miss.
