POR15 - It's stays on whatever you spray it on, I did my frame last fall before the winter came. It took 2 weeks before i was able to get it off my hands. My jeans I was using at the time are never going to get it out. I brushed it on instead of spraying,  I was told by the shop I bought it from was to be very carefull with POR15, once on it never comes off. Plus water makes it dry.

Wear gloves, old coveralls you don't care about, same goes for the foot wear. Brush don't spray or you'll regret it.

I have sprayed it and I didn't have problems, BUT I was wearing a mask (you don't want to breath it in)
I had a thin plastic hazzmat suit on with hood and goggles and rubber gloves.  This is because the first time I had work clothes on and the t shirt I was wearing still has it on it and the jeans still do also Along with the shoes and socks I was wearing and a cap which were trashed.  Not to mention specs and spills all over my hands and anything else that wasn't covered.
