Aluminum Paste, lumpy bright flake [Al]. Stock # C104AP

Surplus bright aluminum from the paint industry. Although it is not paint, it has been coated with a solvent so it can be mixed into the vat to make paint, but the solvent has since mostly evaporated off leaving lumpy aluminum with a solvent smell. Ground in mineral spirits, we have tested it for use in rocket propellants, flares, HC smoke, ignition mixtures, etc.. It can also be used to make paint and lacquer! We mixed it with NC lacquer for various metal flake colors. Simply add one ounce per quart of lacquer for that visual metallic sheen.

Aluminum Roof Coating/Sealant, for sealing metal roofs and vents. Stock # C104ARC

This is thick roof sealant used to seal metal roofs on mobile homes, out buildings and barns, sealing around air conditioning units and vents, etc.. It sticks to everything so it can be used on shingles (wood or asphalt) or any other building material. It is usually rolled on like a thick paint or mopped on. This is surplus material currently being sold to roofing companies in bulk 55 gal drums at huge savings. We got our hands on some to pass the savings onto those of you out there that like to save money and do it themselves. We used it on our main building here. Drum mixing is accomplished by using a long shaft "mud" mixer blade (we bought ours from Harbor Freight Tools and welded a longer shaft on it). Comparable product at Home Depot is over $76.00/4.75 gallons. If you are a roofer, buy it in bulk while it lasts! 55 gallon drums must be shipped by motor freight. Call for a shipping quote. NOTE: As surplus, we cannot guarantee finish color. It is usually silver but we have seen off-tints as well.
