What your opinion on Por15 and other rust delete??

Thank you.

POR15 - (I know it good) - Starter pack you'll get a 4 oz. can of POR-15 (enough to cover 12 square feet) :



LocTite - Rust-Oleum Automotive rust removal package from local HD, about the same price as POR15 starter pack:


The second photo is an interesting combination of items. The first two on the left (naval jelly and rust reformer) do similar things but I am not sure you should use both.

Naval jelly, rust mort and others that contain phosphoric acid (active ingredient) are the stuff John Walker talks about to convert the rust into a black inert material.

Rust reformer (and other similar aerosols) are a spray on thing that you spray and let harden. It partially converts and encapsulates the rust. The jury is out on it's effectiveness vs the Naval Jelly (phosphoric acid containing) products.

The primer is for sanding and prior to it's application, but you should apply an etching primer first to the bare metal.
