Thank you very much for posting
Tha Hammerite is being applied to a cowl above a log burning stove, the cowl has just been made for me but unfortunately the workmanship is below average so I have had to use filler to hide the mistakes

Thank you Mopar440 and Squiggs

Mopar440 I painted the cowl after reading your first post and the Hammerite covered the filler the same as it covered the steel around it

The cowl is about 1.5 meters above the stove and will reach a temperature similar to a car parked in the Sun
I will keep my eye and nose on things and should there be a problem get another one manufactured, thats where the fun starts

Have a good Christmas and thank you once again for very good advice

This will probably be OK. Indeed it will be a bit like "low-bake" for the Hammerite.

More importantly, does the newly painted cowl look good now? smile
Yes thank you, the cowl looks ok considering I am no pro at filling and sanding, the Hammerite is hiding most of my bad feathering work

Have a good Christmas
