Thank you for the breakdown, now this will make my purchase easier!

So, let's say you have a rusty fender, surface rust and maybe some pitting, both show side and inside of the panel, and you may not get to painting it for a while. You're a weekend warrior on your car. Here are the steps with questions, correct me where I am wrong.
1) Rust removal: mechanical or chemical rust remover, basically to bare metal, but I still may have some pitting.
2) Now, I need to wait a few weekends, because of work, so I preserve the metal and work on that pitting. What product? Do I use Rust Encapsulator on the inside of the panel and Fast Etch/After Blast on the outside of the panel, because that's the show side?
3) Now I am ready to repair the metal, which may include welding and body fill. Do I sand off the Rust Encapsulator if I applied it, or just use PRE Paint prep? I am concerned about adhesion of body filler to the bare metal.
4) Now the metal sits again for a couple weeks. Do I re-apply Fast Etch/phosphoric acid, or should I have planned my time better and gone right to Epoxy Primer? Ultimately, what's the prep just before epoxy when it comes to Rust Encapsulator?

I had a project that required application of the rust encapsulator Platinum in small amounts. I had to open and close the can many times and a lot of the product hardened in the can even after I obtained a new can. I would say plan on using the whole amount you purchase quickly and don´t plan on storing it.

[dennisjump]

I ordered a quart of the brushable Platinum. It's a very good product. The problem was with the can. I had to completely destroy the lid to get it off. I've never seen a lid do that. It was unusable after that so i wrapped the can tightly in plastic but it still hardened right up. Because of the lid being jackhammered on I only got to use half the product. And it was very expensive !

[dannydyer]

You guys need to make a clear version for rat rods 👍

[Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥 Thanks for the video. What’s the difference between the encapsulator and the converter.??

[olivedrabgarage]

Can you paint straight onto the surface or do you need to do some prep first?

[rustdawg]

I had rust come thru red rust encapsulator. In dots underneath my nova .Have to redo it again.why did it fail in certain spots .I used rust converter first when you had to mix it .

[Marg]

I have a small rust spot about the size of my baby finger. I noticed it on the inside of the door tonight when I opened the back door of my 2009 Tahoe. Do I need to treat the rust before the encapsulated is brushed or sprayed on? And is there a different kind of encapsulated for the inside of the door?

[durzolife]

Can you use an enamel based paint over your encapsulation products?

[rayfinnell]

Is this a rts or do you have to reduce it to spray it??

[eddiesoltero]

What spray tip on a hvlp gun to spray on?

[Ryan-wfsh]

Hi Eastwood! So is there a converter within these products which stops the rust from continuing?

[johnsn]

I bought the plus version and when it came it was hard as a rock and I didn’t know till after the return window. So I wasted a bunch of money. There were no signs of damage on the can or anything. I didn’t open it for many months after I bought it.

[j.stresstl]

Will this stuff be suitable for applying over a custom exhaust system?

[shizzle]

Can i use eastwood rust encapulator on existing rust followed by raptor liner 2k inn white on top of eastowood to get my undercarrgie colour match? And to stop rust? Please help

[MrJeepmarine]

Just tell me how to open the damn can already. It has some weird plastic flange, not like a typical paint can.

[Golgafrinchamdent]

Is there any benefit to using a rust "converter" and then going over it with this "encapsulator" ?

[TouchofDepth]

Why would you remove encapsulater plus from Amazon? Nobody wants the rubberized bullshit

[abitoferthang]

That Platinum is sticky so don't get it on anything
