A little tip I'd like to pass on:



I use zinc cromate (or some equivalent) in spray cans to prime parts.



I had read long ago in this list that somebody opens the spray can and applies the primer with a sponge brush.

I tried it, and it works beautifully. No waste, no spraying things you didn't mean to (like plants, the floor, the wall, the neighbor's SUV, the cat's tail, etc.), no nasty stuff in your lungs (of course, the fumes from the paint is still there, so a well ventilated room is essential - but your lungs won't turn yellow).



One just needs to be very careful when opening the can... That first little hole can make a mess...



Happy building

		   Carlos, did you punch a little hole in the can? I 

 assume you did, but the can had to have had little

 pressure in it. I thought I would use the Galavanic

 spray from Rustoleum...Bob S

Do you turn the can upside down and spray out all of the propellant first? I haven’t tried this yet.
