Eastwood products

I guess this is appropriate for the Appearance Forum.

I'll be painting my frame this winter and have some rust in areas that are inaccessible to emery cloth or electric means like welds. I've been looking at Eastwood gel rust products here in Canada (www.maidstonecoatings.com). There are 2 choices, a rust remover and a rust encapsulator. For what I'm using it for, which one did you find worked better?

Naval Jelly from Home Depot or Lowes. Wash it off with laquer thinner or acetone and prime immediately....done. Spot prime as your wiping the jelly off and then do a full frame prime after the rest is stripped down.

Chuck, Navel Jelly is a phosphate product. It needs to be washed off with water.

The only way to truly clean a frame properly involves media blasting. Everything else is a compromise. If you refuse to media blast then I'd try to remove as much rust off as possible, including possibly using Naval Jelly as chuck recommends. It won't get all the rust off though, and because of that I recommend an encapsulation product like Por-15 paint after you give up. This paint is just a primer though so plan to top coat per the instructions.

Water will promote rust almost instantly. Ive used Acetone to remove it and it not only removes it, it also leaves a grease and film free surface thats instantly ready for a quick shot of primer from the rattle can in my other hand as I clean it off. More than one way to skin the cat as they say.

Well, Eastwood makes an encapsulation product too.
