Paint for Metal
Paint metal surfaces to stop rust from starting and prevent existing rust from spreading. Scrape rusty areas clean before application. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life and corrosion resistance of paint.
Paint in an aerosol can does not require a primer.

Adjustable-Flexibility Heat-Transfer Potting Compounds
Mixing required—resin and hardener come in two separate jars or in a jar and syringe and must be combined before applying. Change the mix ratio of these heat-transfer potting compounds to achieve the right hardness for your application. They're formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, so they have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.
The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
