Aquasteel Q&A
Q. Can I use Aquasteel on stainless steel?
A It can be used on rusted stainless steel, but if you use on stainless steel that isn’t rusted it wont form such a good bond with the steel as the rusted steel.
Q. “ Can I use Aquasteel on Cast iron?
A. It can be used on rusted cast iron, but if you use on stainless steel that isn’t rusted it wont form such a good bond with the steel as the rusted steel..
Q. Can I use Aquasteel on top of paint?
A. It won’t cause any issues if you get some on the painted surface by mistake and you can then paint over it with your normal paint.
Q. Can I paint onto new steel?
A. You can but the product wont bond as well as it would with rusted surfaces. If you have new steel it would be best to use a primer and topcoat of paint. You can also “flash rust” the steel by spraying with clean fresh water and leaving to form a new rust layer before applying the Aquasteel.
Q. I’ve had my Aquasteel for 3 years, will it still be okay to use.
A. It depends on temperature where it has been stored. Needs ambient temperature. Extreme temperatures will affect the formulation of the product. It also depends if the container has remained capped or if it has been used. We give a one year life on the product but it can be fine after 2 years + if looked after. Its best to try it on a test area first.
Q. Can I return my Aquasteel as I don’t need it?
Yes it can be returned for a refund or replacement/exchange within 30 days of delivery as long as the goods are in original and unused condition, unopened. Return is at the customer’s cost.
Q. Is it water washable?
A. Yes, so if you wash your brush immediately it will still be perfect.
Q. Can I spray this product?
A. Key Application Details for Spraying Aquasteel: Consistency: The product is thin (milk-like), making it suitable for spraying. Method: Airless spray is recommended, using a 14–21 thou tip size and 30:1 pump.
Q. What are the temperature restrictions for use of Aquasteel?
A. Conditions: Do not apply to metal at or below the dew point, or above 40°C
This is a good product for dealing with Rust on our Canal Boat.
Canal boats can be prone to rust due to long periods of not being used in the winter months where damp is inevitable if the boat is not dry docked. By using Aquasteel Rust Converter it gives that extra protection once used. I treat all my steel with Aquasteel it gives that extra protection and durability and a bigger window for when in dry maintenance.
Before and After of Aquasteel on Barge Deck
Open commercial steel barge project UK pictures show before and after, large areas of open deck coated with Aquasteel Rust Converter
Pontoon Case Sudy
These pontoons are treated every 3 years, they have no other treatment or coating and are fully submersed under water, the steel has been totally protected.
Excellent Product
Excellent Product, Easy to use after a good shake and a quick stir. It is non-toxic and after a simple application the Rust turned Black as specified. A second coat for good luck and then repaint the under & Top coat. I imagine that this 500ml will cover a vast area should I need it to. It is just what I have been looking for to kill rust where it occurs.
Just thought I’d write and let you know how pleased I am with the product.
Unlike so many products I’ve tried in the past this really is excellent.
It was purchased to treat surface rust on the underside of my Jaguar XJS that is 22 yrs old, I had the product applied by a local garage who also restore vehicles, he was impressed also, so much so I had to give him a small sample, I’ve also recommended the product to other members of the Jaguar club!
Excellent product
Excellent product, Aquasteel converted the surface rust on subframes, suspension arms and backing plates to form a hard durable surface layer, ready for painting.
I found Aqualsteel easy to use with a brush and found it also works well with a spray bottle for larger surface areas. I have also used in the past on my Cortina and Corsair and Ford Anglia. I have to say its really good.
