Full Version: What Is Rub-N-Buff?

Hi, Harvey,
Here's a suggestion for keeping that material a tad longer. Works extremely well with oil and acrylic paints and other goodies that come in tubes : squeeze out just a bit more than you need and cap the tube with that extra protruding. That will keep oxygen, the usual cause of stuff like that drying out, out of the tube. May not be the magic bullet but should noticably extend the life of the material.
Keep smilin,
Michael

Thanks for that suggestion.
While reading your reply a thought struck me. If kept refrigerated, it should last longer. I wonder if it can take freezing?

Harvey, I have also found that using electrical wire nuts instead of the plastic cap works better. Seems the wire threads inside the nut give a better seal than the plastic threads on cap. I've kept tubes up to a year this way.

Ed, since I just registered tonight I know this is to late for your problem you posted, but for future reference. I have used acrylic enamel indoor/outdoor gloss by Plaid. 2 oz. cost apx. $1.00 can get at Walmarts, or craft stores. I've used it for filling engraved plastic and glass. I specially like it when I need to 'custom' match, since this paint is pourable you can mix colors to make your own - and save the left over for future reorders.
