Duratex Warning!


DizRotus

Recommended Posts

Unused Duratex is destroyed if allowed to freeze.  If you have unused Duratex in an unheated garage in a climate that has below freezing temperatures, now is the time to store it in a heated space.  If exposed to 32F,  or below, unused Duratex takes on the consistency and texture of crumbling styrofoam.  I lost most of a gallon that way winter before last.

 

Once applied and cured, 32F and below doesn't faze Duratex.  It's a great product, just don't let it freeze in the can..

It also occurred to me.  If you plan to buy Duratex to use over the winter, do so now.  Neither Duratex  nor Parts Express will ship to a cold climate during the winter.

Wow, a company with some brains about sending things to cold weather climates. I work for UPS and you would be amazed how many people buy boxes of wine when it's -10f or more. Those damn things always explode

I'm lucky there. PE is about 35-miles from me. 🙃

One thing I will say is that it will begin to dry very quickly, so do one full surface at a time, and don't go back over once applied.  If you are using a roller, do the final application in one direction across the surface.

This is great advice. It takes a long time to cure but dries extremely fast.
