One good thing to remember is that with rust converts like that you must remove the scale rust and the more rust you can clean off it the longer it will last. I use to be a painter and sandblasted offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and my foreman didn’t believe me when I told him this so I bet him that he could get anyone to do a section his way and I’d do a section my way and after being home 2 weeks his section was already showing rust coming through mine lasted 6 months

We used a shop vac and blew the dust particles off the roof.

I have a few small issues in the roof of my old 40 footer, but my intent was to rivet aluminium alloy over the bad bits and seal with silicone around the edges and rivets. I removed the scale and rust converted it and painted it years ago, but it didn't last too well. I should have bitumen'ed it like you did, really.

It depends on the level of rust. The rust converter needs 'some' rust to work on. I had flaking scabs of rust that had to be removed - no wire brush would do that! If you read the instructions, all the products tell you to remove the loose rust

Ouch! thats some price hike!- Ill need another one soon. I bet all good coatings have gone up-so Ill have a look around at whats out there again - But I highly recommend it. - Its good old school stuff. Its used on canal boat hulls in GB and Europe. I get about 4m2 per litre coverage per coat brushed on.

Great video. I use phosphoric acid from cleaning supplier for rust conversion. A lot cheaper. They sell it for cleaning coffee machines. I get 4L for under $50AUD. Cheers

@@t.h.o.r. so looking at Mitre 10, Bunnings and Placemakers there doesn't seem anything like this. Online builders merchants seem to want around $150 a roll for anything like this. Does that seem right? I've found the paint online but struggling to locate the flashing tape. Would like to try this.
