Whois & Analysis for rustoleum.com

Rust-Oleum is a manufacturer of protective paints and coatings for home and industrial use.

It was founded in 1921 by Robert Fergusson (a sea captain, not the famous poet) after he noticed that raw fish oil spilled on rusty metal decks stopped corrosion from spreading.

He soon incorporated whale oil into the formula, although many changes have been made over the years.

Rust-Oleum products no longer contain whale oil, instead using resins derived from Alkyds, polyurethanes, epoxys, latex, etc.

Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

Spray painting is a painting technique where a device sprays a coating (paint, ink, varnish, etc) through the air onto a surface.

The most common types employ compressed gas—usually air—to atomize and direct the paint particles.

Spray guns evolved from airbrushes, and the two are usually distinguished by their size and the size of the spray pattern they produce.

Airbrushes are hand-held and used instead of a brush for detailed work such as photo retouching, painting nails or fine art.

Air gun spraying uses equipment that is generally larger.

It is typically used for covering large surfaces with an even coating of liquid.

Spray guns can be either automated or hand-held and have interchangeable heads to allow for different spray patterns.

Single color aerosol paint cans are portable and easy to store.

Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees, and other woody plants.

It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers which are strong in tension embedded in a of lignin which resists compression.

Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs.

In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves.

It also conveys water and nutrients between the leaves, other growing tissues, and the roots.

Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber.

Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time.

Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment fondu.

However, asphalt concrete, which is frequently used for road surfaces, is also a type of concrete, where the cement material is bitumen, and polymer concretes are sometimes used where the cementing material is a polymer.
