Blackjack 57 vs Rustoleum Fibered Black Coating

[Jjones0517]

Hi Everyone

My local hardware store can't get BJ57, but can get Rust-Oleum for my coop floor. I am trying to compare every detail of the two but in all honesty, I really don't know what I should be looking for. The Rust-Oleum doesn't mention rubber but everything else seems to line up. Guy behind the counter said it was the same, but I told him I would go to the internet to make sure it would work.

Can anyone offer some expertise?

I used neither.
Two coats of Behr Porch and Floor paint has held up just fine. And I got an "Oops" can for $5. That's hard to beat

I think it'll work. I actually used waterproofing compound leftover from a bathroom tile remodel. Paint works, too. What you have sounds good to me!

Why not get the cheapest, and most likely the ugliest rolled vinyl flooring from Lowes or Homer D. I used a couple tubes of adhesive to glue it to the subfloor. It's been flawless. I glued it down before building the walls.

I used deep litter - no floor at all.

Except in the raised coop, where I used Hardiboard instead of plywood.

/and to answer your question, I've used blackjack on timbers set into the ground, but never the Rustoleum. Sorry. Blackjack would not be my first choice in a coop, its so much petroleum product, as a fiber reinforced asphalt.

Thanks everyone. I opted to stick with the BJ57.

I understand you will all stand by your choices but I thank you for your input.

It's been used in many coops with no issues. Just let it air out a few days.

I hope it serves you well. That it wouldn't be (and wasn't) my first choice doesn't mean many people haven't been very satisfied with it.
