[TheForge] Permalac

[Lucky7Steel]

Well, my 2 cents for the Permalac thread.

So far some of the good things i've noticed are for one, it doesn't smell as
bad as tremclad. Also, it dries to touch in like....2 minutes.
I have no idea how it'll do outside (i guess if it rusts asap i'll get an
angry client call of course). it said it covers something like 24ft but one
can barely covered my piece which is mostly made of 3/4 steel rods. Sadly
it's also about 3 times the price of Tremclad. It better not rust!! ;-)
I was talking to some furniture folks last week who blacken steel with a
patina (probably jax i'd think) and then coat with Tung oil. Anyone have an
opinion on such things?
