FAQs
Can I use this on outdoor furniture?
Yes, Rustins Small Job is designed for both interior and exterior wood and metal surfaces.
Do I need a primer?
For bare or porous surfaces, a primer is recommended to ensure the best adhesion and uniform finish.
How long does it take to dry?
The formula is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within an hour, though full curing takes longer depending on ambient temperature.
Can I use this on plastic?
This product is specifically formulated for wood and metal; performance on plastic is not guaranteed.
How do I clean up after painting?
Because it is water-based, simply wash your brushes and tools with warm water and mild soap.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaking during application
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-brushing the paint as it starts to dry.
Paint is peeling after drying
The surface was likely contaminated with grease or wax. Sand the area, clean it thoroughly with a degreaser, and reapply.
Visible brush marks
Thin the paint slightly with a very small amount of water or apply using a fine-cell foam roller for a smoother finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wax or oils. For best results, lightly sand wood surfaces and remove any loose rust from metal before application.
Application: Use a quality synthetic brush or a small foam roller to apply the paint in thin, even coats. Because it is fast-drying, avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most wood and metal surfaces. Do not mix with oil-based paints or thinners.
Care: After use, wash brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the water-based formula from drying out.
