Like a lot of hobby woodworkers, time in the shop is one of those things in life that you just can’t put a price tag on. With a wife and young children at home, the wood shop always ends up getting pushed to the end of my list. That being said, I am always looking for new and faster ways to get great results in my shop, in less time.
Krylon has a new product on the market that promises just that – a great exterior finish in less time.
So I got my hands on some, and put it to the test.
First of all, they were right. I sprayed on a coat of Cedar Exterior Wood Stain onto a pine picnic table that I built for my daughter in less than 10 minutes. This was about 3-4 times faster than the last one I stained with a brush, and bonus, no brush to clean after. The finish took a little longer than the “15 minute or less drying time” boasted on the can, but in all fairness, it has been raining here for what seems like weeks (probably only a few days, but still…).
Second, for those of you who have not tried the EZ Touch 360 Dial spray can, you don’t know what you are missing. I was able to spray both horizontally and vertically and get nice even coverage, which is handy when spraying something like a picnic table, chair, or even a planter.
I have only tried the Cedar color, so I cannot comment on the others, but as for the cedar, A+.
I would defiantly recommend this product to everyone from the hobby woodworker to the professional. Anyone with an exterior project to finish will benefit from the time saved using this product.
