PRODUCT APPLICATION
DIRECTIONS
IMPORTANT – READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE
ONE STEP PROCESS - Save time on most paint projects by cleaning and etching all in one step. For heavily soiled surfaces the Original Krud Kutter should be used as a preprep step, to remove excess oil, grease and dirt. Excess rust should be removed with a wire brush.
Mix 1 part of concentrate with 3 parts water in a plastic container. On heavily rusted areas mix with 2 parts water.
Apply the premix to metal surface with paintbrush, spray bottle, sponge or pump up sprayer. Allow the premix to remain on the surface for up to 10 minutes, then thoroughly rinse with water, and wipe dry with rags. Make sure the metal is completely clean and dry, then paint treated surface within 48 hours, to prevent formation of new rust.
