I only really use epoxy mastic for suspension and other bits not seen or that will be stone chipped or on really pitted steel.I've seen some interesting posts on car restorations by people clearly very professional, lots of talk about good prep in removing the rust then applying Epoxy primer before a top coat such as Jotan 87a, but I don't tend to see any mention of Kurust or any other rust treatment and it seems noticeable by it's absence, I realise if its painted right away the Epoxy primer should take care of any flash rusting but what if there is a bit of time between that happening? If you can get 87A go for it, 90A is available in smaller tins but the 87 is great for your application. Another tip is get yourself a set of small cheap digital jewelers scales and some plastic cups and mix the epoxy by weight. You know you have a serious product when it has stamps of approval from organisations like NATO and the Ministry of Defence. If it works on tanks and warships then the bottom of your Cortina probably won’t be an issue.

The Jenolite Spray looks different to the others and offered the best protection in our test. It’s good value and was incredibly easy to apply too. A spray might not be suitable for all parts of your car though, so the Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 is our favourite liquid if you prefer to use a brush.

Ready to paint on Painting the Kurust on To test these clever corrosion-killing concoctions we left unpainted sections of 1mm mild steel out exposed to the elements until they’d developed a uniform level of deep surface rust. We then treated them with our test products, making sure we followed the instructions carefully, applying the suggested number of coats.Use waxoil, this is great stuff however does dry out after so long not sure how long but it does, so has to be re-applied (if it was me id do it before every winter) Our only other issue with the Kurust is the price, as the cost per millilitre is high compared to others here.

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 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 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.Regarding the plastic cups, I was going to ask about that, so I take it you measure the correct amount of epoxy and hardener into a pot and mix it up, then you have a limited time to apply it before it goes off, and the winter one goes off twice as fast so you cant hang about, what cups do you use then, I assume you use something very cheep as you must go through quite a few. do you save up all the paint jobs to one day or do them as you find them, thats what I would prefer but I'm going to be mixing up very small batches every time.

It also took longer to dry, meaning we had to wait until the next day until we could paint over it with our primer and top coat. The subframe isnt actually that bad but there are a few rust spots so i want to get them now before it becomes a chasing game. I have an Alfa Romeo 75 that is a running restoration, I'm working my way around the car bit by bit. It's not going to be a show car or anything like that but I still like to make sure I do my best with every part I work on.

The pot life is plenty long enough for our summers and the lower mix ratio of paint to hardener helps with mixing very small batches. The first thing you need to do is pour some Kurust into a separate tub. You don’t want to put your brush in and out of the tub as any rust particles on your brush could end up ruining the entire tub. Hammerite tends to be the ‘go-to’ brand for rust protection products, as its paints work so well and need very little preparation. Instead of spending hours underneath a car with a wire brush, you can just slap them onto bare, rusty metal. There are places where Hammerite isn’t ideal though, such as bodywork where you need to overpaint. For these you can use Kurust. It works well, giving the same level of protection in out tests as the Bilt Hamber with just a few spots appearing by the end of our month. Use Oil, now alot of people say use old engine oil and put it in a spray gun, I once asked an engineer about this and he said it could have negative effects becuase of the other chemicals that have gotten mixed in with the oil while it was in the engine and could actually eat in to the metal (if thats true or not i dont know, but it seems a good point), thats also why I said use clean grease too, so if it was me id put oil on thats never been used.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. Shows Kurust converter, the clear winner out of the 4 converters tested. Score marks through the apparently converted rusty surface tmade with a Stanley Knife blade. The other gun will work - but the media will go everywhere and cover everything - not good. Works in a confined space like an empty garden shed where you can put a tarp down and collect the media for reuse.
