Slow to dry and prone to runs so apply coats sparingly
Full bodied and will do the job but very slow drying compared to numerous other black bitumen paints brands I have used. Well over 24 hrs. In much of this slow drying phase the paint film is very inclined to be contaminated/spoiled by rain, trapped insects, dust etc, and, more seriously, run and gather into low points if painting non absorbant surfaces such as pitched corrugated steel roofs. Only counter measure is to apply carefully in even thin coats. Other bitumen paints tolerate thicker coats and less general care in even film application much better due to having faster evaporating solvent and can also be re-coated far quicker. In my experience as little as 3-4 hours so later rain far less of a concern than with this slow setting product. The paint itself is full bodied and once dry should be as protective as any other brand. Just not as user friendly or tolerant of thicker application.The slow drying character of this brand would be less of an issue on level or absorbant surfaces. Very little smell of solvent so that may be a bonus for some users if it is to be applied in places with limited ventilation. Rye Oils who label it have stated to me that they do not manufacture this product theselves. There are no manufacturer details on the product and very limited information. It should be viewed as a budget paint rather than the choice of professionals requiring higher drying performance for rapid recoating and an even finish without risk of becoming runny in the drying cycle or contaminated/spoilt by later rain, dust, insects etc before touch dry.
