It sounds like you have the idea of what you want to do. Etch the metal with the RustBlast. Apply two coats of RustSeal. Do your patching or smoothing with the NuMetal Epoxy Putty. Then you can apply another coat of RustSeal over the NuMetal Epoxy Putty.</p> <p>You can find complete instructions for RustSeal here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/RustSeal-Information-and-Instructions_ep_38-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/RustSeal-Information-and-Instructions_ep_38-1.html</a></p> <p>You can also find the Fix-It Guide which will help you quickly identify the causes of and the recommended solutions for the most common issues that could occur with RustSeal here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/fix-it-guide-rustseal.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/fix-it-guide-rustseal.html</a></p> <p>You can also find Instructional Videos here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-Videos_ep_90-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-Videos_ep_90-1.html</a></p> <p>You can also find a Flow Chart for using the KBS 3 Step System here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/Flow-Chart--RustSeal-on-Steel_ep_87-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/Flow-Chart--RustSeal-on-Steel_ep_87-1.html</a> </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2020#post-2807 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 01:34:03 +0000 twum_au 2807@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I am trying to treat a rust problem in the rear cargo area of my Mazda van.<br /> The rust affects about 10% of the floor area.<br /> I had the whole floor plastic bead blasted which got rid of all remaining paint, the bulk of the rust and enlarged the few holes that I discovered. There are dozens of small pinholes and a few holes 50mm in diameter or smaller.<br /> The blasting guy told me to paint the whole floor with rust converter, let it cure (2 days) then power wire wheel the whole floor which I did.<br /> I am taking the van to a panel shop next to get the holes welded closed/patched (no filler will be used).<br /> I read your directions and I think I need to use Rustblast then Rustseal Galvanised steel with maybe a little Numetal putty for smoothing the patched areas.<br /> Is this all I need to do? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2015#post-2801 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:45:57 +0000 KBS Coatings 2801@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>You could use the DiamondFinish clear.

The aquaklean was just as stated. After I cleaned it you couldn't tell if it had fuel in it or water. After that it was tig welded and the rest is easy as pie. The tank is ready to be put back into service.
