I have used POR 15 for several things now, and am very happy with the results. In fact, I would love to start a work week this summer without some POR 15 on my hands, arms, or legs, I have been using it so much lately. It usually wears off the skin by Tuesday, if I had used it on Saturday. No matter how careful I try to be, I end up with some somewhere....After the third application I am usually well coated. LOL!! Chris, I am sure that you will be able to save the Rollermatic with this special paint product. You will be amazed! |

I've used POR-15 for lots of projects and it's amazing stuff. You should use the POR-15 on only sanded or rusty metal, if you use it on smooth porcelain, it will flake and peel off. It's like any other paint, it has to have something to "grab on to". When I first got it, I used it to touch up a few spots in the outer tub of my WCI-58 Frigidaire washer, instead of just on the rusty spots where the tub had knocked into the porcelain outer tub over the years, I painted a band all the way around the tub. For a couple of months after, I would find little bits of POR-15 in the draining water... The biggest project I've used it on was the tub of my WCI-59 washer. This tub came from the South Dakota farm and was completely destroyed. I had it sand-blasted, filled the holes with JB Weld and painted three coats of POR-15. It washed many, many loads with all temps of water and all types of detergents and additives and it looked as good as the day I finished the last coat. Here is a picture of the machine with that painted tub. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

Sometimes the way machines were leveled allowed water to sit in a portion of the outer tub and not make it to the drain opening because the opening was higher than the lowest corner of the outer tub. |

I always level my WP/KM machines with a level, yet if I pull the spin basket out, there is a little bit of water at the rear area of the tub. Of course the drain is located at the left front area of the tub..... I always leave the lid open on all my machines when they are not in use, just to be sure.
