dip tank for primer

carl reitnauer · Feb 20, 2012

I'd like to make a tank I could dip baremetal parts in to primer them thoroughly. What LIQUID will float on top of enamel type primer? Back before time began I was in a fab shop that dip-primed their ornamental iron work in perhaps Rustoleum....what did I miss?

Primer will give the best and most uniform coverage when sprayed. Dipping will result in uneven coverage including runs. I have tried dipping something as simple as bolts. It does not work, at least for me.

What people did or do does not necessarily mean it was/is correct or will work today -- do as you please.
