The Ultimate Rust Fix: Convert, Seal & Protect with Industrial Rust Converter + Epoxy Resin

Rust can be relentless—but with the right tools, you can turn corroded metal into a durable, professional-looking finish. Plus Rust Converter & Primer is an industrial-grade solution that not only neutralises rust but also primes the surface for lasting protection. When paired with our Clearpox Ultra Clear or EpoxyPro Industrial Resin, it creates a two-step system that seals out moisture, strengthens the surface, and delivers long-term results.

Whether you’re restoring a boat, reviving a trailer, or repairing auto parts, this combo offers the ideal balance of function and finish. Clearpox brings the gloss and clarity for visible surfaces, while EpoxyPro delivers heavy-duty performance for marine, industrial, or underbody applications. Let’s dive into how this powerful pairing stops rust in its tracks—and becomes your go-to solution for lasting metal protection.

Rust Converter: The First Step

Tackling rust head-on requires a powerful ally. Let's explore how rust converter works its magic, the projects it's perfect for, and how to prep your metal surfaces for optimal results.

How Rust Converter Works

Rust converter is a game-changer in metal surface preparation. This innovative product chemically transforms rust into a stable compound, creating a protective layer that prevents further corrosion.

When applied to rusty metal, the converter reacts with iron oxide (rust) to form a dark, inert substance. This new layer acts as a primer, ready for paint or epoxy application.

The process not only stops existing rust but also inhibits new rust formation, making it an essential step in metal restoration and protection.

Ideal Projects for Rust Treatment

Rust converter shines in a variety of applications, making it a versatile tool for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.

For automotive projects, it's perfect for treating underbody components, exhaust systems, and even classic car restorations. EpoxyPro Automotive EP55 Series is an excellent follow-up for these applications.

In marine environments, rust converter is invaluable for boat trailers, dock hardware, and metal fixtures exposed to salt water. Our boat and marine solutions complement this treatment perfectly.

For home and industrial use, it's ideal for outdoor furniture, gates, railings, and structural steel components that are prone to rust due to weather exposure.

Tips for Effective Metal Prep

Proper preparation is key to getting the most out of your rust converter application. Follow these steps for best results:

1. Clean the surface thoroughly, removing loose rust, dirt, and grease.

2. Ensure the area is completely dry before application.

3. Apply the converter evenly, following the product instructions carefully.

For heavily rusted areas, consider using a wire brush or sandpaper to remove loose rust before applying the converter. This helps the product penetrate more effectively.

Remember, temperature and humidity can affect drying time. Choose a day with moderate conditions for optimal results.

Layering with Epoxy Resin

Once rust is converted, the next step is to seal and protect. Epoxy resin provides a durable, long-lasting barrier against future damage. Let's explore the benefits and options available.

Benefits of Epoxy for Metal

Epoxy resin offers unparalleled protection for metal surfaces, creating a robust shield against the elements.

Its waterproof properties make it ideal for marine applications and outdoor use, preventing moisture from reaching the metal underneath. This is crucial in preventing future rust formation.

The durability of epoxy also provides excellent resistance to chemicals, abrasions, and impacts, extending the life of your metal projects significantly.

Choosing Clearpox vs EpoxyPro

When it comes to selecting the right epoxy for your project, understanding the differences between Clearpox and EpoxyPro is crucial.

Clearpox Ultra Clear is perfect for projects where aesthetics are paramount. It provides a crystal-clear finish that enhances the look of the underlying surface while offering robust protection.

EpoxyPro Industrial Resin, on the other hand, is designed for heavy-duty applications. It offers superior chemical and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for industrial and high-wear environments.

Pro Tips for UV Topcoat Application

For outdoor projects or those exposed to sunlight, adding a UV-resistant topcoat is crucial. This extra layer prevents yellowing and degradation of the epoxy over time.

1. Choose a high-quality UV-resistant clear coat compatible with epoxy.

2. Apply in thin, even layers for best results.

3. Allow proper curing time between coats and before exposing to direct sunlight.

Remember, even with a UV topcoat, it's best to avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure for epoxy-coated items when possible.

Maximizing Longevity and Protection

By combining rust converter and epoxy resin, you're creating a formidable defense against corrosion. Let's explore how this duo works together and its practical applications.

Combining Rust Converter and Epoxy Resin

The synergy between rust converter and epoxy resin creates a powerful protection system for metal surfaces.

Rust converter prepares the surface by neutralizing existing rust and creating a stable base. This primer-like layer enhances the adhesion of the epoxy resin.

Epoxy resin then seals the treated surface, providing a waterproof and chemical-resistant barrier. This combination not only stops existing rust but also prevents future corrosion.

Practical Applications for Marine and Auto

In marine environments, this two-step process is invaluable for protecting boat hulls, trailers, and metal fixtures exposed to salt water.

For automotive use, it's perfect for undercarriage components, classic car restorations, and custom metal fabrications. The durability of this system helps withstand road debris and harsh weather conditions.

Encouraging DIY and Professional Use

Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional, this rust treatment and protection system offers significant benefits:

• Easy application process suitable for beginners

• Professional-grade results for trade-level projects

• Cost-effective solution compared to replacing rusted parts

• Versatile use across various industries and applications
