Hammerite 5092820 Kurust, 250 ml , Blue

Product Information

Unlike the waxy coating applied by the aerosol, this white fluid seemed very similar to many of the other products on test here, although its slightly thicker consistency made it easier to apply than some. This will make it far easier to use in some locations, such as inside a wheelarch, but it could be tricky to avoid overspray on smaller areas, such as a rust bubble on the bodywork.

It can be applied by brush to surfaces includingBBQs, fire surrounds, garage doors, metal doors, metal garden furniture, metal gates, metal railings and radiators with no primer or undercoat needed.The Neutrarust’s label looks like it means business, with all sorts of approvals from NATO and the Ministry of Defence. Rust removal involves spending hours with a wire brush or strong acidic chemicals that are dangerous to use, so it is far easier and safer to use a rust converter. It has adhered well to the new Kurust surface, it does not chip or knock-off so a big thumbs up there. An excellent product to have around the home so you can tackle rust on BBQs, fire surrounds, radiators, garage doors, garden furniture, metal doors, gates, railings and much more.

Shake the container well to mix the ingredients and pour the required amount into a plastic container. With DUALTECH it provides two-way protection by repelling water and stopping rust, keeping the metal stronger for longer. I have now moved this sample outside so I can see if the rust comes back, or if the Kurust has killed it off for good.One side of the steel sample was left unpainted while the other was sprayed with a single coat of primer and acrylic top coat, replicating a typical DIY repair. We were dubious at first because the liquid was watery when applied and seemed to want to bead off the surface rather than soak in, but after 15 minutes our sample had turned dark blue and allowed us to apply another coat.

Be careful not to get it confused with the liquid equivalent though, because this had a woeful result.These stop reaction in the metal using special ingredients, which neutralise the corrosion and allow you to paint over it.

We left sections of 1mm unpainted mild steel to gently corrode outside over the course of several months, then let them thoroughly dry before treating both sides with our products, carefully following the instructions. We suggest starting with a small amount as you should not pour any unused Kurust back into the bottle. The milky fluid from the Rustins jar was certainly easy enough to apply, although it seemed to sit on our rust rather than soaking in, and took far longer than the others to cure into a paintable surface.But some minor surface corrosion had started to become visible on both sides of our sample by the end of our test period. There are many Hammerite colours that not only transform the look of metal but also protect it for years to come.
