Eh? As supplied, cellulose is rather more viscous than, say, household gloss paint. Only when you thin it for spraying does it become runny. The problem with brushing cellulose is the speed it dries - you can't brush it out like normal paint as the brush drags almost immediately. If you're quite skilled and very careful, and get the viscosity just right, you can apply it with a "flooding" action, but it makes a horrible mess if you get it wrong.PSL184 wrote:yes but it will be very thin and runny whe you try to apply it...deano69 wrote:Is cellulose ok for brush application?Im assume it is.
Cellulose really needs spraying.
Who remembers "Brushing Belco" and its companion "BrushTin Belco"?

I don't agree, if it is just a small patch or stone chip its better to paint with a brush the cut back after you have built up a good thickness. I spray the paint into the cap as described then let it thicken as the thinners evaporate before use. I usually build it up really proud then plane it down with a old fashioned razor blade, then T cut to finish - Works well for me.bmcecosse wrote: The touching in with brush won't work - so you will have to spray in locally with the can.

This message board is like a family - you can't choose the other members!! But remember engine oil is thicker than water.
as for any type of paint see here http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/web33.pdf

Kennatt, interesting link particularly page 8 re isocyanate (2 pack) paint
The other option is to BRUSH a 2 pack paint, particularly good for painting an engine bay.
