You might also talk to someone at a Sherwin Williams store about SherClear. At the least, you should use several coats of polyurethane. It's prone to lots of impacts and abrasion. INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH POLY A table top, specially a work table or dinning table, is a pretty tough environment. This post is only about preserving the beauty of rust while stabilizing it to make a rusty object useable and not so messy.
#Rust patina how to#
please don't ask me how to repaint your car or patio furniture. I'm just a guy who, by chatting with an old time paint guy, stumbled onto a way to stabilize and preserve rust without hiding it. But if you don't have rust, you can skip the penetrol and just go straight to the polyurethane. I wrote this about protecting and preserving the rust for it's looks. I've also been getting a lot of questions about clear, un-rusted metal. The polyurethane is a good, stable, long-lasting finish that won't easily wear off. The reason I use the polyurethane top coat(s) is that the Penetrol is a linseed oil product, and as such, is not very hard or durable. So far they look just like the day I finished on all my projects. I've used this method for several years now including on towel bars hung with damp towels everyday and for a countertop under my bathroom sink.
Even on the perfectly flat surface it didn't leave brush marks.ģ) I always spray on a mat polyurethane top coat or two for a smooth finish and the finished piece looks completely natural. I just rinsed it off with a hose on saw horses, let it dry in the sun thenĢ) applied the Penetrol with a brush. In the case of the steel vanity tops shown in the intro I left one out in the rain for a week to cover some scratches and wanted to preserve the light layer of rust. For a rusty surface I'll usually clean it real good with water and a soft brush or cloth to get any dirt off. )ġ) I usually wipe down the piece with paint thinner to remove excess dirt and oil but since the product is oil based you don't need to remove every last trace. I chopped it up and added some numbered steps. It yanked the post and sent me a note to mend my ways.
