Bandi Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Is there such a thing that can be bought by myself to touch up and repaint plastic or resin aquarium orniments? Would need to be lead free and stand up to water (obviously). Any suggestions please? Also, want to pick everybodies brains on safe material to sculpt my own orniments...air drying ploymer clay? I am currently making my own orniments with pottery clay, that is fired in a kiln and then glazed with lead free, food safe colors and fired a second time. That is working well, however, I am interested in other materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajays Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I have used Krylon [spelling?] Spray paint for plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 As for materials you can use cement, spray foam, epoxy, and acrylic. There are many other things that I sure you can use but these seem to be the most comon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, get a paint called Krylon Fusion. Walmart sells it in spray cans. It's aquarium safe and will adhere to plastic. People use it to paint their ugly green (eheim) intakes and tubing. Boom :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandi Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks for the ideas...keep going... The Krylon spray sounds do-able but how about brush on paint for detailed work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I think you can get Krylon in paint on form and Canadian Tire, the same stuff just paint it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
