Grinding and sand blasting are not necessarily the best approaches to removing rust from metal. Those methods remove rust but also remove metal which can only be replaced with plastic filler or new sheet metal. The less filler used in a project, the less work is involved in repairing a damaged area.

Mastercoat Rust Remover was designed to remove rust without etching the metal. There is a clear advantage in neutralizing and dissolving only the rust, leaving clean and restored metal without any loss.

Methods of Application:

Small parts can be dipped, such as nuts, bolts, hinges, or nails. Pour Rust Remover into a plastic container and allow items to sit anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 or 2 hours, dependant upon the amount of rust. Once rust is dissolved, remove from the soak, wipe dry, and the metal is clean and restored. There is no need to strain Rust Remover. It can be returned to the container for later use or another project. Light rust can be sprayed with Rust Remover. Allow several applications over 10 minute intervals. When metal starts to clear, scuff surface with a nylon scuff pad. If all black marks are gone, the metal is clean.

For heavy rust areas, wet shop rags, chamois, or Turkish towels with Rust Remover. Place on rusted area and cover with plastic. Allow Rust Remover to set from 20 minutes to 1 to 2 hours. Use a nylon scuff pad to buff and rewet if necessary to continue cleaning until all rust is removed. When rust is dissolved, wipe dry with paper towels. Rust Remover works best when surface is kept wet until rust is completely dissolved. Occasionally, rusty surfaces appear only to be rusted, but actually have areas containing old paint beneath the rust. If this becomes evident with your project, we suggest using Spra’ Strip to remove the paint when the surface is dry. After the paint is removed, continue with rust removal.

WEAR GLOVES WHEN USING RUST REMOVER & PROTECT EYES.

Rust Remover may be used to clean brass and copper. Keep the product separate from other metal dips because brass or copper coloring will likely carry onto your other metals. Apply Rust Remover with a soft cloth to avoid scratching. Buff the brass or copper when clean and polish. We recommend 200MPH, a complete line of metal care products to clean, restore, shine and protect many types of metal.

Rust Remover can be used for cleaning and removing rust from the inside of gas tanks. Pour Rust Remover into the tank and allow to soak for 20 minutes. Rotate gas tank until it has been cleaned. Pour out excess Rust Remover. When dry, it is suggested you apply a permanent sealer paint, such as Mastercoat Permanent Rust Sealer. This will prevent rust from developing in the future.

Rust Remover will neutralize with water. In case of a spill, use plenty of water to thoroughly clean the area. To be safe, use caution not to apply rust remover to anything other than metal.
