adambaum Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Looks like the heat (118+) was too much for one of my cans of Zinsser. I opened my finish storage cabinet and found a puddle around a few cans. Can't quite figure out how it got out because the rims of all the cans are clean. I'm thinking the seal around the bottom of a can let loose a bit. Thankfully it was still goopy so cleanup wasn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 That can happen. Or the air in the can heated up enough to pop the top, splatter out some then semi seat back down as it cooled off at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisc Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I had this same sort of thing happen with my west system hardener. It seemed to leak through the pump. Or maybe the bottle had a hole in in somewhere that I didn't notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Had similar happen with 2 different kinds of epoxy. Really irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I have had 2 cans of Seal Coat fail over I don't know how many cans so, very small percentage. Zinsser was quick to send a coupon for a new can each time when I notified them. The water in the DNA has been mentioned as a blame on cans that have been around awhile although lined cans shouldn't care IMHO. After the first time it happened I lined the baking sheet I keep such things on with foil. A few years later it made cleanup easy on the second occurrence. I now decant my shellac into glass jars (mason jars are cheap and old spaghetti sauce jars are cheaper) with no repeat failures since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmotjr Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I store some of my more temperature sensitive stuff inside where it is climate controlled. Mainly my silicone and resins for mold making, but if I know I'm going to be using a finish soon, I'll move it inside if the temps are getting to the extreme (hot or cold).
