I doubt it. It would have to go on a plane. Maybe the manufacturer could ship it.

krylon is low grade compared to the paint these days. a painter told me that recently, good luck

Paypal me 10 bux and I'll mail you one and see if it makes it through.

krylon fusion is safe to paint PVC pipes and have inside your reef tank? Is this true?'
Any precatuions or special instructions?

I've seen a bunch of threads here at RC that say that krylon fusion is plenty reef safe. Only precaution is to make sure that whatever your painting is completely dried before it goes back in the tank.

I keep hearing that after a year or two the paint starts to chip away. Although it may be due to poor prep.

An American on another board was going to mail me some up here in Canada and they wouldn't allow him.

I want to use krylon fusion on a new coast to coast I made for my reef tank. I works fantastic but the white elbo and gray pvc are not very attractive.

Jimmy Nix · #12 01/10/2008, 01:51 PM

or is there another pvc paint that is reef safe that I can look for. thanks

I can tell you aerosal cans aren't allowed to go through the us mail service, not sure if it's a company issue or a DOT issue.

One year in my tank and counting. So far so good. I've scratched my PVC overflow with a rock and it scratched off, but I expected that since it left a large gash in the PVC. Let's just say I wasn't being gentle

Now I've got Coralline growing all over it.

Jimmy Nix · #15 01/10/2008, 02:42 PM

I guess I can wait for Coralline to cover the pvc. Thanks

I don't know. I'd only be willing to try it on my FW cichlid tank, LOL. Not that I under-value them or anything, but they're tough.
