RustSeal is very capable of bonding to &amp; permanently sealing any remaining flash rust or corrosion. After treatment with RustBlast, a slight white powder residue may appear. This is a zinc phosphate coating advantageous for RustSeal adhesion. Items treated with RustBlast can remain uncoated for up to 30 days depending on environmental conditions. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1987#post-2703 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:32:03 +0000 TD 2703@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I recently order a motorcycle tank kit. I cleaned the tank out with the Aqua clean and let dry. This actually did a good job and a lot of loose rust was washed out leaving quite a bit of bare metal visible.<br /> I then used the rust blast for about 30 minutes. I rinsed it as thouroughly as possibly and let it dry. A rust like coating formed over most of the surfaces even the ones that were clean after the Aqua clean. Some of this can be rubbed off.</p> <p>How should I proceed before using the rust seal?<br /> cheers </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1976#post-2680 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:28:19 +0000 KBS Coatings 2680@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>"can apply the top coat right after or do I have to use rust seal first."</p> <p>Always apply two coats of RustSeal first for Rust Prevention.</p> <p>"will the rust blast and a light scuff be good for the next step?"</p> <p>Yes.

It seems to be the consensus that customers are preferring the KBS products for performance and price over the competition. That's why we switched too!

On my '68 C-10 frame, I spent a few months sandblasting it. It was completely bare steel. I AquaKlean'd and RustBlast'd it just to be sure I killed any slight rust and greasy hand prints from handling it. Well, I thought I screwed up bigtime. After RustBlasting it and drying it in the sun and w/ compressed air, it had dark grey and goldish streaks all over it. But I wasn't about to spend another 3 months eating sand.<br /> Well, the RustSeal directions say you can go over rust and this was nothing so I went for it. I brushed on one coat of RustSeal and it laid out very nicely. I figured one coat should be fine since it coated 95+% and I was Blacktopping too. I then sprayed on one med. coat of Blacktop, reduced by 10% w/ #1, to get it to lay out. Man, did it ever! It looks awesome! Ridiculously glossy! I can't believe how far it went: 1/2 qt. of RustSeal and just over 1/2 qt. of BlackTop to do the entire frame, inside and out, top and bottom!<br /> No issues I can see with bubbling or anything like that. I can even see the camera I used to take pics of it in the crossmember! Awesome stuff!<br /> Next up is the frame on my daily driver to beat the MI winters!<br /> Sorry for being so windy but I had to convey this to those that see the same issues.<br /> Amazing stuff! </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1963#post-2647 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:03:45 +0000 KBS Jim 2647@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>James, as the directions state, neither AquaKlean nor RustBlast is needed after sandblasting. The sandblasting manages to clean and abrade the surface for excellent RustSeal adhesion. You can reapply the RustBlast now keeping it wet for 15 minutes or longer as desired, and you can use something such as a scotch-brite pad to scour the surface. Immediately rinse with water, and immediately dry the surface with a clean dry cloth and/or compressed air. Drying the surface off helps to keep the moisture from just sitting on the substrate and the beginning of flash rust. Then let the surface air dry very well before painting. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1963#post-2642 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:40:26 +0000 platboy 2642@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi I just used Rust blast for the firest time in some freshly sandblasted car patch panels. I followed the instructions to the letter, with the exception of Aquaclean as it says it isn't required on freshly blasted metal. Now I have some areas that have the white residue, some areas that look as they did before (although a darker shade of grey) and some areas of brown which I am guessing is flash rust. It does in fact look exactly like the POR 15 example on the website comparison. Is it better to agitate the rustbast with a bristle brush or similar (I just painted it on with a paint brush). I am not comfortable simply painting the Rust seal over this flash rust, as it is worse than when I started. Any ideas? Cheers, James. </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1727#post-2373 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 08:01:16 +0000 KBS Coatings 2373@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ As long as it is a light residue, you should be fine. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1727#post-2357 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:35:25 +0000 trey51 2357@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ I am sealing a cycle gas tank which had no visible rust. I used the aquaklean and after drying I then used the rustblast. I turned and sloshed the tank every 5 minutes and the solution was in for a total of 25 minutes. After pouring it out and rinsing well, there appears to be a black residue left inside. Is this normal and acceptable? http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/232#post-569 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:50:46 +0000 KBS Jim 569@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ No, I would not recommend wiping off the RustBlast with any solvent based product. You are using the AquaClean or similar water-based product to remove such substances, then reapplying when you wipe down with a solvent. Not recommended. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/232#post-567 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:56:06 +0000 FrankV 567@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ By &quot;Metho&quot; I mean Methalayted Spirits...

It will dissolve the rust and allow that touch up paint to bond well.
