bluekarin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Product/pcode---4181 Anyone know if this is suitable to use inside my wooden chickens house and run? I painted it last year when we got the chickens, but what with all the washing the paint has started to come off. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I wouldn't think so. I used it a few years ago when I wanted some black planters and it went on okay but then came off just as okay lol. I love the look of painted poultry houses too but tbh I have enough of painting our window frames, so keeping the chicken houses smart would be a nightmare. I think I'll stick with my Cuprinol and Sadolin wood preservers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I knwo people used it to coat the wooden roosting bars in the eglu before Omlet started doing plastic ones so assume it is safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I used it for that purpose.. It is very potent and fumy. In fact it gave me an asthma attack. I left the roosting bars out in the open for about a week to let the fumes die down. To be honest I'm not sure that it would be good for the hens in the larger amounts that you would be using.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I did my roosting bars. Fine for a while but it wears off eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Gloss would be an idea for inside a coop as it will fill those small cracks that red mite hide in, you would need to air the coop well after painting, it would give you a wipable surface too If it was my coop I would use a creosote substitute on the inside to help prevent mites (again lots of airing) and the same or a water based coloured product on the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I just used acrylic eggshell in side the coop that way it won’t take me long to freshen it up come spring and it’s low odour and dry in 1hr oh and it was the right price as it was left over from a job I’d just finished (note to self must learn to work out how much materials I need for a job better as for aerosol paint it takes a long time for the fumes to go when it’s use in confined spaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Quite a few of us used that some years back to coat the wooden roosting bars in the older eglus. It wore off very quickly. Not worth the trouble IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
