Rust Treatment, 1 Qt Btl, Opaque

This is the ONLY stuff for treating rusted metal (also a matching Henkel product- just match the 75430 number). I used this decades ago working on cars, where I would then apply glass cloth/polyester resin/bondo over the area for rust repair (when I was young and poor and couldnt afford new metal...!). It helped the repairs last much longer. I am now repairing a rusted storm culvert on my pond, and tried a number of products from HD and Lowes that were a complete waste of time. For best results, knock/scrape/wire brush loose rust and layered scale off the area to be repaired, and use a motorized wire wheel to really get down to it. Clean the area with solvent like enamel reducer, lacquer thinner or Xylol before applying- this is a water-based product so it can be repelled by dirt, oil or grease. Youll see those little divots as you apply it- just keep working the material, itll cover. Use two coats. Bless Amazon for making the real thing so easy to find, and easy to get.
