I used some stuff from Wally world. It seems to be OK. Not sure it it is"water" based or not. I don't have any handy at the moment, but I used it for a coating on my frame and cab as I cleaded it up, then painted them. It's only been about 2 years, and thruck hasn't seem much road use, so I don't know whether it is all it says it is. Nothing has come back or spread in the areas I used it though. I did not get it as a miracle metal saver, just something to hopefully slow/deter the rust process. If it looked bad, I replaced the metal, then coated it with good paint. I like using the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator, while others like POR.
Where I used it mostly was to protect things till I got it cleaned and painted well. Before I had a shop, Things would corrode instantly here in Mississippi, so it gave me a little help preventing things from aging between working session on my truck.

I've used 2 rust converters that work pretty well. Ospho and Rustmort. The Jasco stuff leaves something to be desired. Neither is water based though. They're actually some kind of acid and will etch the metal as well. You can use water to clean up though. If you use this stuff make certain you've got a good respirator and eye protection. Have plenty of water near by in case you get some on your skin. It does flush right off. As long as you take reasonable precautions you won't have any trouble.

Hey sound like the stuff might work ok, I´m sandblasting everything first so I¨m using it as Palf70step did to keep things from rusting between sesions.
Thanks and I keep in touch |
