Product Information

Full details

The Jenolite Rust Converter Epoxy Spray is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing a quick and effective solution for rusted metal surfaces. Its key benefit is converting rust into a stable, paint-ready base without requiring complete rust removal, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that it performs best on surfaces with existing rust, rather than heavily corroded or pitted metal where mechanical removal might still be necessary. This advanced epoxy-based formula chemically reacts with rust to halt corrosion, forming a tough, self-priming coating that is ideal for use on gates, railings, tools, garden furniture, and automotive parts.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does it take for the rust to convert?

The rust conversion process typically takes about 15 minutes, during which time the rusted area will turn black.

Can I use this on heavily pitted metal?

This product is most effective on surfaces with existing rust. For heavily pitted or flaking metal, it's recommended to remove as much loose material as possible mechanically before applying the converter.

Do I need to prime over the rust converter?

No, the Jenolite Rust Converter Epoxy Spray acts as a self-priming coating and is ready for overpainting with most standard paints once cured.

What is the coverage of one can?

Coverage is approximately 2m² per 500ml can, but this can vary depending on the surface texture and application thickness.

Can I use this on aluminum or other non-ferrous metals?

This product is specifically designed for ferrous metals (iron and steel) where rust is present. It is not intended for use on aluminum or other non-ferrous metals.

How should I prepare the surface before spraying?

Clean the surface of grease, oil, and dirt, and remove any loose or flaking rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. A thin layer of rust should remain for the converter to work.

What types of paint can I apply over the cured converter?

You can apply most water-based and oil-based paints over the cured Jenolite Rust Converter Epoxy Spray.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle is blocked

Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If still blocked, remove the nozzle and soak it in a suitable solvent, then try again.

Rust not converting to black

Ensure loose rust has been removed, but sufficient surface rust remains for the product to react with. Shake the can more vigorously and ensure you are applying an even coat.

Uneven finish after application

Apply in thin, even coats from the recommended distance. If a second coat is needed, wait for the first to flash off (become touch dry) before applying.

Paint not adhering after curing

Ensure the rust converter is fully cured before applying the topcoat. The surface should be completely dry and non-tacky. Clean the surface lightly if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Saves time by not requiring complete rust removal.
Creates a durable, paintable surface.
Effectively stops active rust and prevents its return.
Easy to apply via spray can.
Suitable for a wide range of metal projects.

Cons

Best results on surfaces with existing rust, not on bare metal.
Requires loose rust to be removed before application.
May not be suitable for heavily pitted or flaking metal.
Requires a curing time before painting.
Coverage estimates should be considered approximate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the metal surface is free from grease, oil, and dirt.
Remove any loose or flaking rust using a wire brush or sandpaper. Some surface rust should remain for the product to react with.
Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
Apply thin, even coats from a distance of 25-30 cm.
Allow approximately 15 minutes for the rust to convert (indicated by a color change to black).
Let the treated area cure completely, typically for 1-2 hours, before applying a topcoat.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most ferrous metal surfaces.
Suitable for use with most water-based and oil-based paints as a primer.
Test on a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care:

Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
Ensure the nozzle is clear after use by inverting the can and spraying for a few seconds.
