Rust Encapsulator Instructions

Rust Encapsulator Aerosol

  1. Ensure that the surface is free of all loose rust, scale, and paint - cleaning with a stiff wire brush should be sufficient.
  2. Remove all dust oil and grease, or chemical contamination using Eastwood's PRE (#10041Z aerosol or #10194ZP quart) . Allow to dry thoroughly.
  3. Shake can well and listen for rattle of mixing ball. Continue to shake for at least 2 minutes. Shake for 10 seconds at 1 to 2 minute intervals during application.
  4. When applying Eastwood Rust Encapsulator™ to a patch area, feather the edges of the surrounding paint with 220 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Be sure to feather into the surrounding paint by at least 1 1/4".
  5. Hold can 10 to 12 inches from the surface and apply a medium coat to ensure maximum adhesion, overlapping surrounding paint by at least 1 ¼"
  6. Single coats of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator™ will be dry to the touch in 20 minutes and thoroughly dry in 3-4 hours at 68 degrees F. If a second coat is desired for greater durability, allow 1 hour before applying the second coat. If applying heavy coats, allow extra drying time before applying.
    Important - to keep nozzle clean remove any build-up on the tip after use with lacquer thinner. The spray tip can be removed with a twisting motion, and then flushed with lacquer thinner to clean. Always replace tip immediately after cleaning to prevent valve gasket from over-swelling, which can make re-insertion of the tip difficult and can even damage the valve causing malfunction. Always use gentle twisting motion to insert tip. Take care not to spray in eyes or face.
  7. If applying a topcoat, allow at least 6-8 hours drying time. For maximum topcoat adhesion, sand the surface with 320 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Allow an extra hour drying time if wet sanding.
  8. For best results, top coating should be done within 36 hours of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator™ application. After 36 hours, be sure to scuff the surface with 320 grit wet/dry sandpaper before top coating.
