It is possible to apply Tank Sealer without KBS Klean and RustBlast, but it is not recommended. Tank Sealer was designed to be part of the full 3-step system, and skipping prep risks poor adhesion and premature failure.
Why prep matters: KBS Klean cleans the surface thoroughly, and RustBlast etches the metal to leave an anchor pattern. Together they give Tank Sealer incredible, lasting adhesion. As with any coatings job, prep is roughly 90 percent of the job.
Frequently Asked Questions: Skipping KBS Klean and RustBlast
It is possible, but not recommended. Tank Sealer is designed to work as part of the full 3-step system. Skipping KBS Klean and RustBlast risks poor adhesion and premature failure of the coating.
KBS Klean cleans the surface of oils and contaminants, and RustBlast etches the metal to create an anchor pattern. Together they give Tank Sealer the surface it needs to bond permanently and resist premature failure.
As with any coating project, prep is roughly 90 percent of the job. For the longest-lasting results, always complete all three steps of the KBS Tank Sealer System rather than skipping ahead to sealing.
