Been using for over ten years. When you use decent nozzles and clean the outlet after use this lasts for multiple applications. Shake well and warm the can to 70-90 degrees to prevent separation and clogging. I use this to coat wood, aluminum, steel, and polymers. With proper surface preparation and three very light coats, this stuff is amazingly durable. I have high wear items Cerakoted and I coat everything else with Aluma-Hyde II. My projects look 100% professional. I use the bake cure method for both metals and polymers. (that can handle 190-200 deg). I have found this coating to be pretty damn tough chip and scratch resistant when applied properly. surface prep and coating method is critical. I have a item professionally cerakoted that has not held up as well as a properly coated aluma-hyde II item. You do not need to sand or bead blast parts, you can coat after degreasing. Really phenomenal stuff. I have found this to be harder than the original Duracoat. Have not compared to new generation Dura- and Cera but it's rugged and affordable enough to use as a working coating on virtually any tool that you need coated. Like Cera and Dura, I do not use on internal high tolerance parts without masking critical bearing surfaces. Holds up to heat, moisture, and holds oils and lubes well. Scuffs and scratches can be buffed with some oil. I do not get cracking due to my light spray method with a bake cure. I have blasted and Cera coated parts to achieve higher abrasion resistance but this is the best DIY coat I have found that does not involved blasting. ## Features - non-returnable (hazardous) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 623 Reviews | ## Images ![Brownells Aluma-Hyde II Epoxy Based Firearms Finish (O.D.

It is a good, durable epoxy based coating with a variety of color options. The key(s) is surface prep and shaking the life out of the can, and keep shaking(mixing) it, keep the spray nozzle clean and clear. Carb cleaner is your friend for that. Let it cure for a couple weeks in a warm place. then use items. CeraCoat and AlumaHyde are 2 different coatings, if you understand this, you won't be disappointed with AlumaHyde, which is a user friendly all-in-one coating option vs. CeraCoat ## Frequently Bought Together - Brownells Aluma-Hyde II Epoxy Based Firearms Finish (O.D.
