Product Information

Full details

Black Jack Bitumen Paint is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for an effective protective coating for metal, wood, and felt surfaces. This solvent-based, full-bodied formula provides a durable, waterproof black film that excels at exterior preservation and rust prevention. While highly effective, users should note that as a solvent-based product, it requires adequate ventilation during application and a significant drying period to ensure the finish cures to its final odourless and taint-free state.

FAQs

Can I use this on plastic surfaces?

This product is specifically formulated for metal, wood, and felt. It is not recommended for use on most plastics as the solvent may cause degradation.

How many coats are recommended?

Usually, two coats are recommended for maximum durability, ensuring the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.

Is it safe for drinking water containers?

No. Although it is odourless and taint-free when dry, it is not certified for use in contact with potable water systems.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Use white spirit or a professional-grade brush cleaner immediately after application to prevent the bitumen from hardening in the bristles.

Can this be painted over?

Bitumen paint is generally considered a finishing coat. Most standard paints will not adhere well to a bituminous surface.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick to spread easily

Ensure the product is stored at room temperature before use; if it remains too thick, ensure it is stirred vigorously or placed in a warm room for an hour.

The finish is tacky long after application

Check humidity levels and ambient temperature; the paint requires dry conditions to cure properly. Avoid applying in damp or cold weather.

Paint is not adhering to the metal surface

Ensure all rust and loose particles are wire-brushed away and the surface is degreased before applying the first coat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities
  • Provides a strong, durable protective barrier
  • Suitable for a wide range of surfaces including metal and felt
  • Dries to an odourless finish
  • Cost-effective solution for large-scale outdoor projects

Cons

  • Requires solvent-based cleanup
  • Long drying time compared to water-based alternatives
  • Strong solvent odour during the initial application phase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, stir the contents of the 5L container thoroughly to ensure an even consistency. Apply to a clean, dry surface using a brush, mop, or squeegee. Because this is a solvent-based product, it is essential to work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gloves and eyewear. For cleanup, utilize white spirit or a recognized solvent-based cleaner immediately after use, as the paint becomes difficult to remove once it begins to set. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is airtight to prevent the solvent from evaporating and thickening the product.
