DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Remove oil grease and dirt.
2. Wire brush surface to remove loose rust, mill scale and
paint.
3. Rinse with water to remove powder and solubles.
NOTE: Light rust should be firmly bonded to the surface
of the metal and not easily removed by wiping.
Rust Treatment will easily convert properly prepared
bare metal surfaces.
5. Mix thoroughly before using.
6. Pour into a clean container for easy application by
brushing or apply directly to surface and brush out.
7. Brush, roll or sponge on liberally. Spray application is
recommended for large areas. Airless spray equipment
is faster and provides more effective conversion due to
improved surface penetration. Conventional air-spray
equipment may be used, but Rust Treatment may
require thinning up to 10% with water for proper
spraying.
