[Roadsters] POR-15: the dangers of inadvertent face decoration

[Tim]

A question about what  brushes people recommend....

I have tried to use the elcheapo disposable ones only to fight having to pick the hairs off the surface that fall off the brush because of the cheapness of the brush.

What is the issue when using the foam brushes? I have thought about using them so as to not have to pick put loose brush hairs

Thanks

Having done 3 vehicles with POR, here are my bits and pieces:

DO wear a painter's mask with organic vapor cartridges, the fumes EVEN IN AN 
OPEN AIR SITUATION.... CAN BE UNHEALTHY.  You've been warned.

DO keep a rag that has been moistened with Lacquer Thinner (NOT Mineral 
Spirits) handy, that way the unexpected smear on body parts can be cleaned 
off.

DO use the Saran Wrap, but use TWO layers.  A single layer usually gets 
shredded and you have bits and pieces floating in the POR.  Don't know about 
the refrigerator trick, as it DOES smell nasty enough that SWMBO would 
firmly nix it's being brought into the house's living space, but I would be 
more concerned with the humidity.  If the ambient humidity is high, you'll 
probably watch as the POR will literally boil itself into a FOAM, this is 
totally undesireable so if it's raining or threatening to rain... don't 
paint with POR, you'll be wasting your time and money.

DO use disposable brushes but NOT the foam ones.  Don't bother cleaning them 
up afterwards either, the cost in Lacquer Thinner will exceed the cost of 
the brush AND the brush will simply NOT be soft the next day.

These are the ones right off the top of my head, I'll post more as I 
remember them.
