Incralac is designed for non ferrous ie copper and brass etc, handles
UV well so its ok outdoors sorta, Ive done a few clear coat test
pieces including an incralac one and all are now rusty after 18
months. If its out
of the weather though it may fair better. I dont think you need to
take it to a pro painter, use a mask and you will be fine, you can buy
it in spray cans or tins at most hardware stores here in Australia.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incralac comes in solvent and
water based types now. The water based is actually
a little harder than solvent and does not have the "nasty"
solvents in it. If you use a little you can get it from Talas
( http://talasonline.com
)
5 gal quantities can be purchased at a considerable savings over small
quantities from Stan-Chem
themselves (manufacturer). If you order solvent, brace yourself for
hazardous material charge.
Another
plus for water based (no HMC)

Forgive me if this is a repeat. I looked it up in the shop
yesterday. You can get a small quantity, which they call their
"touch up" can. You can also get an aerosol spray
can. This stuff has 3 very toxic solvents in it- xylol, acetone and
something else that I can't remember.
