De-rusting Products

Hello rufoblaroco@yahoo.com.ph

Please refer: http://marine-paint.com/

They have a 4-step process, which should leave your netting fence better than new, and extremely resistant to further corrosion.

Kind Regards....

go to http://www.eaglecoatings.net/ look up RUSTGRIP ®

CORROSION AND BIOHAZARD ENCAPSULATION ( Patent # 5,695,812 )

You will only need the one coat.

I have used this product -- took some effort to get it here in Australia --- different/unusual but it has every appearance of fulfilling all that is claimed for it.

sprayable.

I have always been partial to the products that "convert" rust such as Extend which I believe is marketed under the Loctite and/or Permatex label. You apply this stuff after you have removed the loose rust and it reacts to form a black coating that you can paint over.

Penatrol. Quick and easy then a top coat.

The best long term solution is to scrap the fence - it would be impossible to clean the fence properly and any thing you do now will be strictly short term.

Replace it with a good galvanised or precoated wiring - you are going to have to do this in the long run. Save the money, time and effort in salvaging the present one.

In 50 years in the paint industry I find that every 10 years someone will market a paint that can be applied over rust - you can but it will not last. 90+% of the problems with paint come from poor preparation and application.

If it is a cosmetic solution only that you want then OK - just put another coat on and it will look better for a while. If it is a structural problem you will be fooling yourself.

Hi!

For about 17years we have been using a rust resistant coating system called POR15.

We've used it for some amazing repair jobs and it's always worked. The key is to prepare the work, and then apply the coating, 'by the book'.

That said, it is a very labour intensive operation, especially if you are to paint a mesh fence. This product is designed to be applied by any method, but is best done by brush, as it has a remarkable self levelling ability. Spraying anything at a fence will only result in huge material losses to the atmosphere. I'd advise to roll it on. Use fairly short rollers of medium-long nap. Only loss is what's on the roller at the end of the job. And you can nearly do it at a run.

This system will require you to apply three coats of rust paint to get required film thickness for a long lasting, permanent fix.

As one post points out, it may just be more economically practical to simply replace the fence periodically.

It's made by an outfit up in New Jersey.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
