I think maybe the factory etching survived the bead blasting and the power wire treatment too???. I sanded a small patch to see how hard it is to sand back to shiny metal and its really tough. To sand this whole (ribbed) floor bright and shiny (if thats necessary) would be VERY difficult. The Rustblast was intended to stabilise the rust AND etch the bare steel but it seems to me maybe I can leave the existing etch alone as the Rustseal ought to stick to it so long as its clean???? </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/2020#post-2808 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 09:01:05 +0000 KBS Coatings 2808@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Yes. 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/1985#post-2700 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:01:10 +0000 KBS Coatings 2700@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>Slight air pressure should not be a problem.</p> <p>You can find NuMetal Epoxy Putty Instructions here: <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/NuMetal-Information-Instructions_ep_40-1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.kbs-coatings.com/NuMetal-Information-Instructions_ep_40-1.html</a> </p> http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1985#post-2699 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 12:58:47 +0000 robertvdm 2699@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>I'm wondering if NuMetal stands pressure.

Any good paint stripper containing methylene chloride will remove that old sealer.<br /><br />If you holes are any larger than a pin head, we recommend using our NuMetal epoxy putty on the outside of the tank first before sealing the inside. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/243#post-578 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:44:24 +0000 Anonymous 578@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ I used por15 on my yamaha september last year to fix rust pin holes in the tank, I was very thorough and careful with the instructions, I thought I had done the job right but now have more pin hole rust, would your product work over the por15 or would I have to strip it out first http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/69#post-138 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:43:02 +0000 KBS Coatings 138@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ You will want to use the <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/Rust-Sealer_c_2.html" class="postlink">RustSeal</a> directly on the metal - one coat. Then fill with the NuMetal. Once the <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-NuMetal-Epoxy-Putty_p_9-19.html" class="postlink">NuMetal</a> has dried, apply another coat of RustSeal.<br /><br />It is important for the RustSeal to go directly on the metal to prevent rust. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/70#post-140 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:42:56 +0000 KBS Coatings 140@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ Yes, the <a href="http://www.kbs-coatings.com/KBS-NuMetal-Epoxy-Putty_p_9-19.html" class="postlink">NuMetal epoxy putty</a> will fill and seal those holes, and can be sanded and paint too. If your going through all this effort, I would also consider sealing the inside of the tank afterwards. This way the thinner sealer will seep in and seal the holes also. Plus you will never have to worry about a rusty tank. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/188#post-434 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:42:51 +0000 KBS Jim 434@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ Possibly, how large of holes do you have? It's best to seal in addition to using the NuMetal. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/186#post-413 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:41:14 +0000 KBS Jim 413@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ <p>The basic kit is designed for pinhole sized sealing, for larger holes which you speak of would require using some of our NuMetal epoxy putty after cleaning and prepping the entire interior and affected exterior area of the tank and before applying the sealer.

About 1/8 inch to possibly 1/4 inch size? Does the kit come with fiberglass mesh or anything for that? Thank you for the response. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/162#post-359 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 06:53:34 +0000 Anonymous 359@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ I have a gas tank with pin hole around the weld at the gas gauge. Will the 3 step process seal these holes? The tank has already been painted. Tank is 18 years old and doesn't appear to have alot of rust on the part of the tank I can see. Local dealers are unsure if product will fix the holes. Help? http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/70#post-139 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:48:58 +0000 Anonymous 139@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ My wife recently surprised me with a 1985 Honda Shadow which is in very good shape, (almost). The motorcycle was a repo and sat for a while before she bought it for me. After riding the motorcycle for a few weeks, it started to develop (what I thought was) a minor gas leak from the tank. When I cleaned the area that was leaking, I found a couple of rust holes about the thickness of a #2 pencil lead or maybe a little bigger. I was wondering if your epoxy putty would be able to seal these holes. The tank has been removed and will be sanded and cleaned. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/69#post-137 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:34:19 +0000 Anonymous 137@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ I am going to be using this to fill a couple small holes in some automotive steel. The holes, as you might expect, are as a result of Rust. I bought the sampler kit (aquaclean, rust blast, rust seal) as well as the NuMetal epoxy for filling. I've cleaned debris/loose paint and rust particles from the area. I've aqua cleaned the area and am about to apply rust blast. However, since I want to paint over the NuMetal, should I wait in my application of Rust Seal until after I have filled the holes with NuMetal or should I paint with Rust Seal, apply NuMetal and paint with Rust Seal again?
