Randy Holmes-Farley , krylon fusion.

Randy
I was talking to someone on another forum about krylon fusion plastic paint on whether its reef safe or not.
First search I did on it had a response from you in another persons post saying it has been used for many years by reefers with no apprent bad affects but for some reason I cant find it now.
I cant find much info on the subject other than from people who have used it and there are many but its kinda hard to say so and so uses it and it worked great for them.
Ive used it plenty of times in fresh and salt tanks with no apparent problems.
I have searched for your thoughts on its use but cant find much of anything.

So what are your thoughts on its use ?
Thanks.

Anecdotally I've used it before, but always on the outside of the tank. Never noticed any issues. I would advise letting it cure for a few days so any off-gassing of paint solvents is finished.

I have used it in tank for a year with no problems. 7 days is recommended for full cure

I've used it for parts that went inside the tank. About 4-5 years later it started flaking off. Other then that I've noticed no issues.
