madscotsman59 1 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I Bought two gallons of the Van Sickles tractor and implement paint on a closeout special for $9.00 a gallon but they didn't have any hardener and can't get any. So i figured i could find it on Amazon or Ebay...nope, just thinner. So i contacted Van sickles themselves and got three different wild goose chases that didn't have hardener but just thinner. I've tried to google it but nothing comes up. So that being said does anyone know where the **** i can get two quarts so i can get my Super "C" and implements painted before the end of the universe? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightninboy 522 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Can you use Valspar or Majic hardener? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgehammer 7,913 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have seen it and can look at the local farm store. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IH 5288 fan 0 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Van Sickle part number for hardener is 7019 for clear hardener/catalyst or 7028 for clear hardener/accelerator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madscotsman59 1 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 9 hours ago, Sledgehammer said: I have seen it and can look at the local farm store. Let me know what you find. I Emailed the Van Sickles folks and they said their hardener's chemistry is specifically blended for their paint only. So i'll need only their brand. Thanks for your help.

Tonyinca 2,085 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 There was a reason it was on closeout sale . Being you don't have much invested in it, consider getting a better quality paint kit that includes hardener & thinner ,etc . Possibly for as much as you'll have just in finding a hardener to match a 9.00 a gallon paint. Good luck, Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgehammer 7,913 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 there were several of each on the shelf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madscotsman59 1 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 O.K. I'm in Maine, what part of the Moon are they sitting? I'm good at guessing but not that good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgehammer 7,913 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Southern Illinois. I wouldn't care to pick them up for you but I'm guessing you would have an overnight shipping charge because of HazMat reasons on the flamables. Maybe someone would know better????

madscotsman59 1 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 I Wouldn't think that would be a problem. Amazon.com ships all of the time without special charges, just extra packaging. You can just get me the contact information if you don't mind. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lightninboy 522 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So...Tallman's and Vogel and Van Sickle are the same company... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madscotsman59 1 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 The Manufacturers rep at the factory emailed me and said no other brands are compatible in any way with their soybean based mixes. He said if i cross brand mix colors or additives the paint will fail in many different ways. Now that can be taken in several ways. one, it's the truth or two it could mean just buy all of our stuff and nobody else's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightninboy 522 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Majic paint is made from soybeans too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
