Lol, it doesn’t bother me. Luckily the whole system is light enough I can hold it with one arm and disassemble it with the other.

Good Afternoon!

My name is Sam, and I am the Consumer Products Manager for FORREST Technical Coatings. Stove Bright and Stove Bright Hearth Accessories are the products that I primarily manage in my role.

My coworker happened to find this website, and I wanted to make a presence here to be of assistance to any one of you who have used/will use/want to use Stove Bright High Temperature Paint.

I work Monday-Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST and will answer any questions you have as I am able!

Hey!

I have a 1916 cook stove I am completely refurbishing - paint included

I want to use stove bright products but I am worried that due to the uneven temperatures on the stove, that the exterior won’t cure properly. Additionally, I need to paint the warming box above, and I know that will not hit the expected temperatures.

is this going to be an issue?

As long as you follow the user guide and paint preparation, this should not effect the paint negatively. Stove Bright has 2 chemistries. First the paint dries, and then it heat-sets. When it dries, it looks nice- but the heat set process is where the paint "cures" to withstand temperature and to be scratch resistant. Stovebright likes to "cure" to 400 degrees or more. The paint will adhere and look nice regardless, if the proper prep is done. The only concern you would have, is if the paint does not heat set it is just more likely to scratch easily. Please feel free to PM me your email and I would be happy to email you a user guide and troubleshooting tips!

It won’t let me send a PM (I am new to this site). I’ll see if I can figure it out.

Welcome to the Forums Sam 🤪.

I use stove bright on my refurb’s, what is the recommended reducer to thin the paint for a gravity spray gun? I use lacquer thinner right now.

Good Afternoon! It is recommended to use no more than 10% Toluene!

👍 Toluene it shall be from here on out. 😳

@Ms_Stove_Bright How soon after painting does it have to be heat cured? If the stove was painted and wasn't fired for months would that be a problem or is it better to heat cure it sooner?
