Hammerite 5092820 Kurust, 250 ml , Blue

Product Information

Whilst rust removers and rust converters may appear to be the same product, they are actually very different and should be used in varying circumstances. Clean the surface by removing all loose paint, rust, dirt, grease and salt. Then rinse with water and let the surface dry. It’s constructed with a non-drip formula which makes it easy to work with and prevents mess and spillages.

Our only other issue with the Kurust is the price, as the cost per millilitre is high compared to others here. Neutrarust 661To help you achieve this, we offer a full suite of rust treatment products, including: Car rust remover After you have blasted them mix just a small amount of the epoxy and apply it with a paint brush. It can then be left untill you are ready to prep and paint. The product can be applied either using a spray gun or a soft brush. The method of application you choose depends on the specifications and the area of application. Before applying the product, you need to prepare the metal by either scraping or brushing it using a scraper. After doing so, you can proceed to apply it directly onto the surface of the metal. Once the primer is dry, you can continue to repaint the surface. It also doesn’t require the use of any primer or undercoat. Some rust removers and converters require this, Kurust however doesn’t which makes it extremely easy and simple to work with.

A handy tub of Hammerite’s popular Kurust rust converter. Transforms rust to a sound surface in 15 minutes, ready for painting in just three hours.

If you are getting underneath a car, make sure you use axle stands or ramps and wear eye protection and a mask. Any areas that are holed will need welding, so don’t waste your time with treatment, but surface rust should be rubbed with a wire brush and then painted with a converter. If you are treating a rust bubble on the bodywork, you will want to remove as much of the rust as possible before treating or it will soon reappear under any filler and top coat. One side of the steel sample was left unpainted while the other was sprayed with a single coat of primer and acrylic top coat, replicating a typical DIY repair. Once dry, the samples were then doused daily in salty water for four weeks to encourage any corrosion to reappear. We then scored them on ease of use, rust-resisting performance and price. Verdict Today, we’re going to look at some of the top rust converters you can use to breathe new life into your ferrous metals and metallic surfaces. These products will help to prepare your metal items for painting or simply ensure they can last as long as possible. How We Compared Rust Converters

Both Dinitrol with its rc800 and Hammerite Products with their Kurust sell rust convertors. I'm now going to tell you why we don't use them and neither should you.But it offered very little in the way of long-term protection to our sample. The unpainted area was uniformly rusty again and it was starting to develop on the other side too. Loctite SF7503 Rust Remedy Don't use sand because of the health risks and do wear the proper PPE which must include a decent mask. Waxoyl or Before 'n' After's improved Waxoyl or the Before 'n' After CR coatings are infinitely better at killing rust than rust converters. The rust converter plus waxoyl may appear at first sight like "belt and braces" but the fact is that the rust converter will just ruin the whole job. The process is fast and efficient, with a single coating of the converter all that is needed to remove the rust. This is much easier compared to sanding or blasting the rust away, which is labour intensive and time-consuming, making rust converter a fantastic investment for most rust-related problems.

Remote areas/Scottish Highlands and non-UK Mainland areas may be subject to additional charges and a longer delivery time. This is determined by our couriers not Rustbuster. This stuff is really watery so be careful not to splash it everywhere when painting it on. Starting to paint the kurust on Now it starts reacting

But it didn’t last. By the end of our month the coating had almost completely disappeared from our unpainted metal and spots of rust were starting to break through to the other side too. And while it appears to be cheap, the bottle is tiny at just 90ml, making it seem poor value. Verdict Our range of direct-to-metal paints can be applied on top of the affected area and instantly provide reliable rust-proofing for years to come. Produced by Hammerite, our car paints are available in pots or in spray cans and in a variety of popular colours. They’re perfect for DIY car-rust repairs. Car rust removal solutions from Halfords As you can see this is a really rusty piece of metal, so should be a really good test subject. The Metal Wire Brushed Using Kurust Oil and grease contamination will prevent the conversion First of all, a lot of the the underneath of most cars, especially Land Rovers, is contaminated with oil and grease from leaking oil seals etc. On oil or grease contaminated areas, unless the underside is extremely thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and then completely dried, the rust converter will not work. So you are very likely to have the nightmare scenario of an ineffective, poorly adhering coating sitting between the rusty surface and any coating of rustproofing wax, making the rustproofing wax totally ineffectual. Waxoyl, and my similar, more formulted CR coating, are petrochemicals very similar to oil and grease from leaking seals of mechanical parts on the underbody. We left sections of 1mm unpainted mild steel to gently corrode outside over the course of several months, then let them thoroughly dry before treating both sides with our products, carefully following the instructions.
