PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
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. Remove all loose rust, scale, and previous coatings with a wire brush, scraper, or Rust-Oleum Rust Stripper.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Apply when temperature is between 50-90ºF (10- 32ºC) and humidity is below 85% to ensure efficient use of the product. Do not apply to an area that, when heated, will exceed 120 °F (49 °C). Avoid spraying in windy, dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
APPLICATION
Shake the can well before using and often during use. Hold the can upright 12-16” from the surface and apply a light, thin, even coat to cover the surface. Additional coats provide increased protection. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth if the coating is too heavy. Re-apply every 1-2 years for indoor uses and every 6 months for outdoor uses.
PAINTING
If surfaces are to be painted in the future, remove Rust Inhibitor from the surface with a solvent such as acetone or mineral spirits prior to painting.
