Rust Converter is a synthetic polymeric formula that converts existing rust into a moisture free, black protective coating. Not only does it eliminate existing rust, but it seals out moisture to prevent the possibility of future rust formation and corrosion. Surfaces protected with this primer and an oil based paint resist the effects of weather, sunlight, rain and even salt spray without peeling or cracking as long as the oil based paint is maintained per manufacturer's recommendations.

Ideally, Rust Converter should be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight. It should be protected from freezing or temperatures above 100 degrees F. Failure to follow storage instructions will cause this product to gel and become unusable.

For the best results, brushing on is recommended. For larger surfaces, pour on surface and spread with a broom, mop, paint roller or squeegee.

No. Although you do not have to paint after the Rust Converter application, it is recommended to apply a high quality oil-based paint if the item will be stored outdoors. Surfaces protected with Rust Converter and an oil based paint system resist weather, sunlight, rain and even salt spray without peeling or cracking.

You should not return the used Rust Converter to the original container. There may be a chance of contamination to the remaining Rust Converter in the container. Please dispose in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations.

Metal buildings, cars and trucks, machinery, gates, tanks and farm equipment. Rust Converter works on any rusty iron or steel object.

No. Do not use Rust Converter where it will be in contact with foods or human water supply. You may use the Rust Converter inside a tank, but you must paint over it with a paint that is resistant to the contents in the tank.

No. It is similar to latex paint. The majority of people are not bothered by the vapors, but as with most products of this nature, it is recommended to use it in a well ventilated area.

Yes. Rust Converter must be used within 9 months from the date of purchase. The shelf life applies to the product even if it has not been opened.

One gallon of Rust Converter will cover approximately 500 square feet of a smooth, non-porous surface. Irregular, porous or textured surfaces may require more product.

Rust Converter should be applied when the air and surface temperature is between 50 and 100 degrees F. Do not apply in direct sunlight or in very damp conditions.

Remove large rust and scale particles with a wire brush, hammer or sandpaper. Then clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, dust and grease. Allow the surface to dry completely before applying Rust Converter.

Yes. Airless sprayers tend to work the best, with less nozzle clogging. Rust Converter should not be diluted.

It will take approximately 20 - 60 minutes for it to dry to a smooth, dark finish. To ensure complete transformation of rusty surfaces, apply a second coat. Allow 48 hours of cure time before the application of the finished paint coat (humid conditions may vary drying time). For long lasting protection, the cured rust converter coating should be sealed with two coats of high quality oil-based paint. No other primer is required.

No. Rust Converter should only be applied to the rusted areas, not the whole surface. After the Rust Converter has completely cured, it is recommended to wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove all excess Rust Converter before you apply the oil-based paint. Rust Converter will glaze coat the non-rusted areas causing the paint not to adhere to those areas as well.

Yes, as long as it is treated as the primer only. You must paint over Rust Converter with a paint that is resistant to the contents in the tank.

Yes, as long as there is rust present! Galvanized is defined as a piece of metal that is coated with zinc to prevent corrosion.

No. Rustbeeter™ is a true rust remover, not a rust converter. It will clean the metal part, not seal or convert the rust. Rustbeeter™ leaves a chemically clean surface that will immediately re-rust without a surface treatment. The exceptions are chrome, galvanized and black oxide parts, which do not need a surface treatment.

Goggles and gloves are recommended because it may cause eye and skin irritation. It may also stain your skin. Also, if allowed to dry on your clothes it will stain.

Coupon-eligible converters are currently not in stores. Beginning in early 2008, they will appear in stores where you would also buy televisions and other consumer electronics products.
