FAQs

How long does it take for the Jenolite Rust Converter to work?

The reaction time varies depending on the severity of the rust and environmental conditions. Typically, it takes a few hours to overnight for the conversion to complete. However, allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.

Can I use Jenolite Rust Converter on aluminum?

Jenolite Rust Converter is primarily designed for use on ferrous metals like steel and iron. It is generally not recommended for use on aluminum.

Do I need to remove all the rust before applying the converter?

You don't need to remove all the rust, but you should remove any loose rust, scale, and debris using a wire brush or sandpaper to allow the converter to reach the active rust.

Can I apply the Jenolite Rust Converter on wet surfaces?

No, the surface should be dry before application. This ensures that the converter can properly react with the rust. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from any contaminants before application.

What kind of paint should I use after applying Jenolite Rust Converter?

Most modern paints are compatible with surfaces treated with Jenolite Rust Converter. However, it's always a good idea to check the paint manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility. Always follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.

How should I clean up spills of Jenolite Rust Converter?

Clean up spills immediately with water while wearing appropriate protective gear. Dispose of the used product in accordance with local regulations.

Troubleshooting

Rust is still present after treatment.

Reapply the converter and ensure complete coverage. For heavily rusted areas, multiple applications might be necessary. Also, ensure the surface was properly cleaned beforehand.

Paint is not adhering to the treated surface.

Ensure the treated surface is completely dry before painting. Use a paint that is compatible with the converted surface. In some cases, light sanding might be needed before painting.

Surface is not changing color after application.

Ensure that the product has had sufficient time to react with the rust. If the rust is minimal, the color change may be subtle. Make sure the surface is actually rusty and not just dirty.
