How clean of rust does the surface have to be? Can I simple steel brush the loose stuff and apply the filler that will be going on a flat surface. Or can I use a rust convertor then apply the filler

Answer here...I can't say. I only used the video I got from youtube, and it showed a very clean surface, so I tried to get down to the shiny bare metal. I don't know what rust coverter is or how it works, or what it does. sorry. Luckily we had an electric sander, and it worked like a charm, with a low number pad.

It's not something I would use alone it would have to be cleaned up some and maybe even filled with a heavy primer. the key behind this produce is it stops the rust through a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction may cause damage to areas with paint, Its a great product but follow the directions closely.

I use white grease that you can find at the local hardware store. Keep it coated at all times so it won't rust and cease up.

It is recommended (and I do!) use distilled water...very inexpensive and I've seen no rust at all.

I have used this product on various projects. To get the best results, you should remove any excess material (loose and flaking rust, peeling paint, etc.). You can just apply it to any rusty spot and help interrupt the rust cycle. If you have too much material over the base/core rusty metal, it may not react to halt the on going rusting action.

Safe yes. But this product is more for hard to access area like the under carriage/frame or deep in engine bay. The hood is an area you would presumably want to sand away, then clean and prime for future painting. The rust converter merely stops the rust from progressing and that protects the remaining metal. But it does'nt look pretty.

Never had any rust issues with either the regular or this finish. This model has a poor Phillips driver design though, it is only as thick as the flat blade drivers. On the first pair I got it broke during it's first use, putting a screw into a plastic housing.

It leaves a white film where I used it. Seems to stop rust but I used it on a tablesaw and have to clean the white residue before use. Hope that helps.

I use Lime- Away for that - it takes a few applications - (I just spray on and don't rinse) - but Whink also has another rust remover that works on other surfaces

Yes. It does a great job with rust. You may have to do more the one application, but it will work. Put it on the rust, brush it a little and hose it off.

Hi, if you really look at the description you see STAINLESS not STAIN "FREE", but as far as rust I don't think you will have a problem. I think rust will only form on stainless if there is some contaminate left on the stainless surface.

I cannot answer your question directly because I have not done what you want to do. However, I did paint the converted rust without any problems and it has held up very well. I think an issue would be where one of the solvents in your the bondo or epoxy starts attacking the converted rust. If I were you, I would convert a small area and then test it with some of your material. I think you want to be sure not to put any of repairing material over rust which has not been converted or removed entirely. Keep it mind that converted rust is textured, whereas the repaired surface probably will be smoother, or at least noticeably different. There are other similar products on the market which have FAQs. You may want to do an online search for them. Also, YouTube has many videos of repairing cars which were rust converted. I think there's one which discuses your concerns. Good luck.

This stuff is great for bonding/preventing rust. I have used it for more than 40 years. When you applied it to rust, it will bond the rust to the metal and turn black. Now with your question, I presume we are talking about steel doors, right? First sand the loose rust off, apply Ospho directly to the remaining rust, let it sit till it becomes black. If you want a smooth door, sand again, apply sopho again, it will act as a primer. When dry, paint to taste.

I would clean the rust first by using a wire brush or sandpaper then wipe the surface. Then apply Plasti-Kote. Let it dry as it turns black. Then you can paint over it. Sand prior to painting if desired.

I don't see any metal parts in this brush so I am not sure where the rust came from. May be it is just some discolored water left at the bottom of the holder from the brush after you use it. I always make sure I shake the water off before I put the brush back to the holder.

Interesting question. I used it to stop rust only on some parts I intended to paint. Since it chemically bonds to the metal if your intent is to eventually rechrome or repaint the part it may interfere with the process and require completely sanding it off. If parts are pitted this could be a real problem. Also when it dries it turns black which cosmetically would not be very attractive

I use a wire brush designed to fit the grooves. I've not had rust problems. The whole point of STAINLESS STEEL is it doesn't rust.Charbroil makes a brush for the infrared grates, and I bought one here on Amazon. So far...no rust problems. I hope this helps you with your purchase decision(s).
