Krylon Fusion All in One Spray Paint Aquarium Safe

[Andrew W]

Does any know if this is safe? I bought it, thinking it was Krylon Fusion for Plastic, which has been discontinued.

Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.

Ditto what @lefty osaid.

I’m curious about this myself. The original formula was aquarium safe IF fully cured....hadn’t even noticed the change.
I recently bought a couple of cans of black  to paint the back of a new tank that I’m setting up. I was thinking about using the leftover, to paint some accessories to the canister plumbing  that are glaring different colors.

I can’t find a definitive answer anywhere, I already used it on a 3D background without realizing it was different, it’s currently curing, I may have to seal it with epoxy

I think it is on some white PVC in my tank. Working fine so far.

This is something I found. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the source but they do address this here:

https://aquanswers.com/aquarium-safe-paint-durable/

In the article they state, “Spray paints designed for plastic will become inert after curing. A completely cured paint with fully evaporated solvents is aquarium safe. Never use paints that are mold-resistant as these are toxic to fish.”

 

I hope this helps.

 

P.s. I  saw this thread because I was looking for help. I also bought the new formula and wanted to know if it would work on terracotta? I’m going to paint soon. I’ll let it cure for a week and see how it goes unless I hear it’s not safe.

Good information in that link.  I would think that clean unglazed terracotta would be easy to coat, as it tis porous.  For that reason it might be wise to coat all sides. 

It might be time to rethink my PVC driftwood project.  I think the snails ate the unsealed acrylic paints on the test piece. Krylon and Rust-Oleum had already told me that they would not recommend their product, so the original project was shelved.

I think a lot of paints are safe, but I generally use plasti-dip instead. It is a spray-on plastic coating rather than a paint and it is aquarium-safe. I have only used the black, but it comes in several colors.

Hi,

Looking for a spray paint that will rustproof a metal wire mesh aquarium lid. Not sure if any I looked at would be fish safe.

Thanks,

Paul
