For rusted or contaminated metal, yes. KBS Klean degreases, RustBlast etches and neutralizes rust, and RustSeal seals it. Skipping the cleaner leaves oil that blocks adhesion, and skipping RustBlast leaves the surface too smooth for a mechanical bond. On clean, already-etched bare metal you can go straight to RustSeal.
Use the search box at the top of this page. It searches video titles plus a keyword list built from real customer searches, so typing gas tank, truck frame, exhaust, concrete floor or rust converter will pull up the right videos even when those words are not in the video title.
Most run between one and seven minutes. The longest are full project walkthroughs such as the 15-minute 3-Step tips video and the 13-minute motorcycle tank sealing video. Every thumbnail shows its runtime.
Yes. Click any thumbnail and the video opens in a player right here. Nothing loads from YouTube until you click, which keeps the page fast.
Every KBS product has a technical data sheet and written directions on the product directions pages. For longer project walkthroughs, see the KBS Restoration Center application guides.
Apply between 60 and 90 degrees F with humidity under 70 percent for most KBS products. RustSeal actually uses ambient moisture to cure, so normal humidity helps it. Very cold or very humid conditions slow cure time and can affect flow out.
