In the process of rebuilding the front and rear suspension at the moment, repainting everything with rustseal. The body is 99% rust free and a full bare metal rebuild prob wont happen for 12 months or more but there will be plenty of rustseal thrown around once it starts!<br /><br />Thanks again for your help.<br /><br />Dave. http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/146#post-321 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 02:32:32 +0000 KBS Jim 321@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ An unopened can of RustSeal can last for over 2 years or longer, as it needs moisture present in the air for the catalyst for curing.<br />As far as AquaKlean and RustBlast, as long as the cap is replaced tightly and evaporation is kept to a minimum, they too should last for years and lose little if any effectiveness.<br /><br />What type of project are you working on? http://support.kbs-coatings.com/topic/146#post-319 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 00:58:42 +0000 Anonymous 319@http://support.kbs-coatings.com/ Hi guys.<br /><br />Just wondering about the pot life of RustSeal. I understand that once opened a pot life of around 1 - 2 months can be expected if properly resealed, but what about un-opened cans of RustSeal?<br /><br />If I purchase cans of RustSeal now and dont end up using them all, what 'shelf life' can I expect from an un-opened can of RustSeal? How long before it would be un-useable? If in fact it does have a use by date as such...<br /><br />Also, do Aquaklean and Rustblast have limited life spans once opened? How long will the unused products last?<br /><br />Thanks for your help.
