Not only do I use it for mixed media scrapbooking (works fabulous on wood and resin pieces, as well as chipboard), but you can  use it on a multitude of metal surfaces in your home! Don't like your hinges? Use the color you like of rub 'n' buff and change them for a fraction of the price of a replacement! PLUS, no worries about getting the holes lined up again. (I redid my brass ones in platinum!).
