Hi Guys,
As many of you know, I am a poor newbie who is onto vintage machinery and tools. Hence, most of the stuff I can afford is rusty, to one degree or another.
I found this study that tested and compared various rust converters:
https://www.ncptt.nps.gov/blog/comparative-study-of-commercially-available-rust-converters/
Rust-oleum Rust Reformer came out the winner.
Since Rust-oleum Rust Reformer supposedly protects the metal from further rusting, I wondered when would bead blasting a rusty item still be preferred over converting the rust into a protective coating.
Also, for the times where bead blasting is a better option, is there anything better for rust prevention than to immediately paint with primer?
I am just a helpless woman looking for assistance.....lol ;-)
Thanks,
Susan
