More things to do with Black Jack 57?

I don't have that kind of tool and even if i did, hanging on to it for 7 - 10 minutes is unrealistic with my busted-up shoulders. Can't Home Depot's paint-shaking machine mix it adequately so I can go home and slather it immediately?

They can indeed. It comes in a standard 5 gallon "paint" bucket so it will fit their shaker machines. Lowe's had no issues shaking mine - but as you stated you need to apply immediately when you get home. Next, how will you mix coat #2?

Is this anything like the aluminized roofing "tar" that gives a silvery finish? That as well required a power drill stirring rod.

Yes, almost certainly. Just make sure you ask them to. I didn't think to do that, but wish I had.

The exterior paint we bought, we had them mix at the paint station, but I didn't ask them to mix this "roofing material".

Say, just what in tarnation is this Heinz 57 stuff anyways? Is it the same stuff being hawked by that floating fatman, Phil (not so) Swift? Would I be able to float the coop safely through a pond full of killer goldfish using only minor special effects and heavy editing?

 

[justinwithpoultry]

Yeah basically. Except *THAT* stuff is white, and $90/gallon, and is in the Lowe's paint area. The stuff I got does the same thing, but is $50/5 gallon, and is in the roofing area. It's probably somewhat less pleasant to work with.

Hey thanks! I'll have to see if it's sold up here at the north pole.
I expect the cost of running it up here by dog sled will bump the price up a bit, but if it works... Any smell once cured?

No, and it was pretty low-smell when I was applying it in the aforementioned 103 degree heat, enclosed coop, not much of a breeze, and only moderate ventilation (that I was squat-standing in for the duration of application). I have definitely worked MANY things that were much much much more smelly.

Cheers! One more thing: how does it hold up to freezing temps? (Fingers crossed)
