Ken Wrote : >>>Has anyone tried Krylon Fusion paint on their polyethylene kayak? Ken, I bought a can of Krylon Fusion a couple weeks ago at "Michaels" and followed the "new" surface prep directions while applying it to High Density Polyethylene ( HDPE) I let it set-up for nearly two weeks, and tested it tonight after seeing your post. Actually, I had forgotten about it until now. Krylon Test - http://yostwerks.com/Krylon.jpg<http://yostwerks.com/Krylon.jpg> I was able to easily scrape it off the plastic using light fingernail pressure. The HDPE I used is a scrap piece left over from making folding kayak snap-on cross sections. I was hoping to try different color cross sections instead of the white HDPE that I always use. I don't believe it's durable enough for my application ( Inside of hull). Perhaps sanding first could have allowed for great adhesion, but I'd rather have a smooth white surface rather than rough it up. Besides, Krylon says no sanding is required.
