Surface Preparation

• New Steel – Thoroughly clean all surfaces. For new Galvanized Steel, use a vinyl wash primer before applying Zero-Rust^®.
• Rusty Surfaces – Remove all loose scale and powdery rust. Thoroughly clean surface of any dirt, grease or other contaminants.
• Partially Painted Surfaces – When repairing a painted surface that has deteriorated totally remove old paint.

Zero Rust^® Application

• Mix thoroughly before and occasionally during use

• Allow a minimum of 30 minutes flash off time between coats
• Zero Rust^® dries to the touch in 30-60 minutes
