About this product
Angelus 2-Hard is a paint hardener and adhesion promoter that turns Angelus acrylic paint into paint for plastic, metal, glass, and other hard, non-porous surfaces. Mix it into your paint and it grips surfaces that paint alone won't stick to, then dries to a harder film.
It comes in 1 oz. and 4 oz. bottles. We've made Angelus products in Los Angeles since 1907.
Works on
- Plastic, like the plastic parts of shoes, headsets, and cups
- Metal, like water bottles, flasks, and moto tanks
- Glass
Keep it off
On fabric, mix your paint with Angelus 2-Soft instead. On leather, use Angelus Paint on its own after deglazing.
How to use it
- Lightly sand the surface and wipe it clean so the paint has something to grip.
- Mix 2-Hard into your Angelus Paint: 50% 2-Hard (equal parts) for flexible surfaces, or 75% 2-Hard (3 parts 2-Hard to 1 part paint) for rigid surfaces.
- Apply several thin coats until the coverage is full and even.
- Let it dry for 48 hours before using the item.
