what kind of paint
will stick to plastic milk crates? I used normal krylon-type paint on them
when I first got them, but it came off. DH uses a rubberized type on the handles of his wrenches and such. Will this stick better for use in a pond? |

I believe it is Krylon which makes a paint clearly labeled as "Krylon? for
plastic". I have used it an it works beautifully. Drys almost right away. Bill "Ann in Houston" wrote in message om... will stick to plastic milk crates?

There's a new Krylon that should work.. you can even paint plastic chairs,
and outdoor kid's toys as well. It's called Krylon Fusion, an dis usually found at Wal-Mart. It will dry in a few hours, but NEEDS to be left alone for a full week so the paint can molecularly bond with the plastic. We painted a kid's pool black last year, and made a nice small reflection pond a little bit from our larger one, and the paint is still rock solid on it. -- Gareee© (Gareee "at" Charter "dot" net) Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

Most milkcrates are a Polyethylene or polypropelyne so it may or may not stay adhered to it. You can scuff it a bit on the slick smooth surfaces to help in giving it some bite. I have milk crates that I use for stands etc for odds and ends I am working on and they get splattered with all inds of paints etc. After a while they get pretty rough looking so I use a regular garden hose and hit em with a good jet of water and the paint comes off in chunks. Plasti Dip is a rubber type coating that is available in spray or dip and it lasts pretty good, mainly due to its felxibility. I coated a stainless rack with it thats totally submerged in the half barrel and its doing great. You can get it in a matt black finish in spray can. Lowes and some other big box stores sell it. Paint no matter what you use and how much you pay is hard to get to hold up when submerged under water. Its just one of those things.

will stick to plastic milk crates? Krylon Fusion has been mentioned, but I doubt it will stick to underwater milk crates for long. You are better off seeking crates in the color you want. Try it and let us know! -- Crashj |

I used the Krylon Fusion on the PVC for my water cooled PC (whole nother diversion) and it worked fine. Just make sure you use it under well ventilated conditions, like outside. You can also buy an epoxy based paint, but I don't know if it will outgas and kill the fish. |

What about Bitumin, is'nt this stuff inert? Its used in Hydroponics setups as a water sealant so surely it should be 'safe'? -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** "Bill Stock" wrote in message .rogers.com...
