DESCRIPTION AND USES
RUST-OLEUM® Stops Rust® Rust Reformer is a waterbased film forming product that chemically converts rust into a smooth, paintable surface, so there is no need to sand to bare metal. Products are available in both spray and brush for flexibility in application.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
- PAINTING CONDITIONS: Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Apply when temperature is between 50-90°F (10- 32°C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces, when heated, exceed 200°F (93°C). Do not apply to galvanized steel. Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
- SURFACE PREPARATION: Do not use on non-rusted surfaces . Remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt and chemical contaminants by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to thoroughly dry. Scrape and wire brush or power tool clean to remove loose rust, scale, and deteriorated coatings.
