Default Don't use Valspar aerosol paint

A little over a month ago I used some yellow valspar paint on an item and its still a little sticky, it seems dry to the touch but if I left it sitting on the seat in my truck for 4 hours and was left with some nice yellow paint on my truck seat. FYI a little bit of brake cleaner on a rag will clean paint off a cloth car seat without hurting the fabric. When your looking for paint for your next project I'd look elsewhere.

I just used Valspar IH white on my O. It hardened up just fine. Slower than the Duplicolor School Bus Yellow I used but I'm happy.

Just to clarify this was valspar paint+primer in one from Lowes. My concern would be that if you painted a tractor with it and used the tractor to mow grass that the sun would make the paint sticky again and the grass would stick. The paint seemed fine bit it took very little heat to make it sticky again so i wouldn't use it on something that your gonna put to work right away.

ANY oil based paint will do that, if you do not get the volatiles out correctly.

Painting when it is cold, or humid is bad,,, I like to paint when I can leave it in the sun for a few hours.

One time, I reverted to a trash bag to "solar collect" some heat, that worked real good!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
