Questions & Answers
Mine didn't work out. Because it is a fairly aggressive product, you must exercise caution. Spraying seems like a bad idea to me. I applied three coats and it worked perfectly in my situation.
Hi Eric. You should only apply it sparingly, as if it were a thin paint. In most cases, three coats are required, and it should only be applied to rusted surfaces. I'm guessing your bed isn't completely rusted. This will restore the metal and give it more strength, allowing it to behave like metal rather than crumble. You must paint it within 24 hours; you may paint or primer it, but the surface must not be exposed. I'd start with a quart and see how things go.
Years! Rust Mort was my first purchase twenty years ago, and it served me well until I ran out of it. As a result, I went to Amazon and bought some more.
I think it's great because you just paint it on, it turns black, and then you paint right over it. I did some light brushing where it was knotted up to smooth it out a little, but I didn't make a big deal out of it. 3- I used it on a horse trailer and for poles on my deck made out of galvanized pipe. Despite the fact that the trailer was purchased four years ago, there has been no rust through the paint. It's a ten out of ten for me.

Pros: Because you don't have to remove the rust, it saves you time and effort. This is the only type of product that can be used to cover rust rather than remove it. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. Other: Expensive. br>br>Other: I'm new to the site. After doing some research for a 45-minute presentation, Rust Mort, an old Ford 3000 tractor that I bought, was perfect for some of the places where removing rust was nearly impossible. The tractor isn't worth the cost/labor of a complete restoration, but I wanted to preserve, if not improve, on the 45-year-old tractor. year- a worn out finish br>br>I saw people using Rust Mort on YouTube, so I knew it was for extremely rusted areas. It's not meant to be used to remove rust; instead, it transforms the top layer of rust to something you can paint over, presumably preventing further rusting beneath the paint. I also used a similar Rustoleum rust converter paint product, which worked well in some areas, but I think it's better to use Rust Mort instead of a separate paint product. br>br>Although this product is intended for direct application on rusted metal, if you can remove some of the rust with a wire brush or sandpaper, the finish will be smoother after you paint over the Rust Mort. br>br>The product worked great for my project; however, I wish it was less expensive. More along the lines of $20 per quart.
When the bottle was delivered, it was leaking, and the packaging smelled like vinegar (the product says it's made of phosphoric acid, so I figured that's what the smell should be like, but what do I know). br>The liquid inside is clear (despite the fact that this product is repackaged vinegar with a catchy name and sold at an exorbitant price). I gave it the benefit of the doubt and hoped it would work, so I shook the bottle thoroughly before using it on some rusted parts on my McLane Reel mower. It did not, however, perform any better than my wife's vinegar bottle. br>Of course, I was unable to return the product because I had opened it in the optimistic expectation that it would work. in light of the price I paid for it I was completely incorrect. What I should have done was return the package the moment I smelled the vinegar when I opened it. This product, I swear, is a ruse. This one should be avoided at all costs. Take note of what I've done wrong.
My rock sliders were rusty because I hadn't painted them; However, after only 5 minutes of rust-mort spraying, they looked fantastic. I'll let them soak for another day before cleaning and painting them to keep them from rusting. Rather than sanding, this is a much better option.
After doing some research, I decided to purchase two different types of rust converters: This one, as well as Gemplers. This is a thin, acid-based solution. The rust becomes black after application, while the bare metal becomes reddish. It doesn't appear to cover enough ground. The rust coverage on the other one impressed me more. br>I spilled this on the metal railing on my front steps, and the white stains on the cement were impossible to remove. It's possible that I'll have to repaint it.
This stuff is fantastic; it turns rust into a tough black finish. Using a spray bottle, I have used it to prevent rust on the undersides of cars. If using as a spray, use caution and wear protective clothing, a mask, protective glasses, and gloves.
On my 1956 Ford truck, Rust Mort was used to treat some heavily rusted areas. The rusted metal had changed consistency, was much more stable, and had even changed color after 24 hours of drying. Where the rust had been flaking and crumbling before, it was now hard and stable, and the body filler was readily accepted. It's a miracle on the edge.
It performs as I had hoped. I sand down the rust first, then brush this over it, and it quickly turns the pitted areas black and eats the rust.
This stuff is great for rust on old vintage cars, as well as seat frames that come out of some of the older vehicles! It can be used on any metal that has rust on it, and it works great!.
