DIRECTIONS FOR USE
NOTE: This product is not recommended for use under
exterior automotive sheet metal finishes. May cause
blistering or peeling.
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.
8.
A purple to black coating will begin to appear within 20
minutes depending on temperature and humidity
conditions. Uneven color indicates the need for
additional coats. For maximum protection, application of
2 coats for 4 mils dry film thickness is recommended.
Apply a second coat within 15 – 30 minutes of the first
coat. Allow a minimum of 24 hours drying time before
priming again or applying a finish coat.
9.
NOTE: After complete drying, Permatex Rust
Treatment must be topcoated for maximum durability.
Most finish paints will not require any additional primer.
However, water based paints and metal filled paints will
require a solvent based primer on top of the Rust
Treatment coating, prior to applying the finish coat.
For Cleanup
1.
When Rust Treatment dries, it is extremely difficult to
remove; therefore spatters should be cleaned up as they
occur.
2.
Brushes, rollers and other tools and spatters should be
cleaned immediately with water and detergent. Rust
Treatment is difficult to remove when dry.
3.
Spray equipment must be flushed immediately with mild
detergent and water then rinsed with fresh water.
4.
If Rust Treatment is spilled on clothes, the garment
should be soaked with cold tap water as soon as
possible and Rust Treatment washed out before it dries.
Do not use ammonia, strong alkali detergents or hot
water to clean up.
5.
Hands and nails should be cleaned with soap and water
using a nailbrush. Black stains from iron-contaminated
