Simply wire brush any loose rust, wipe with PRE painting prep to clean the surface and apply. Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in UV resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability.
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has been tested by an independent lab to be one of the most effective rust-preventive products yet. Rust Encapsulator is a great primer for floor pans and other underbody parts. It fills tiny pin-holes and surface irregularities, and is compatible with lacquer, enamel and urethane topcoats (including Eastwood Chassis Black). For the absolute ultimate rust remedy, first brush or spray-on Eastwood Rust Converter, then prime with Rust Encapsulator. One 15-oz. aerosol covers about 10 sq. ft., and contains no isocyanates. One Gallon covers about 160 Sq Ft. Heat-resistant up to 400°F. Made in the USA.
For Improved Protection check out Rust Encapsulator Plus and for ULTIMATE PROTECTION you will want to use Rust Encapsulator Platinum.
FAQs
(A) Technically, yes, but this application isn't recommended because Rust Encapsulator requires surface to be free of grease, oil, and loose rust. The best product to coat inside box sections is Internal Frame Coating or Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust . These products require minimal prep and will creep into seams and pinch welds.

Application Tips
Use a wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and paint, and remove dust, grease and oil deposits. Wipe down with Pre Painting Prep (10041Z). Feather surrounding paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Shake can for at least 2 minutes once the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the Rust Encapsulator can 10-12" above surface as you spray. A single coat dries to the touch in 20 minutes, and is thoroughly dry in 3-4 hours at 68°F. For greater durability, a second coat can be applied 1 hour after the first. Allow 6-8 hours after the last coat before applying topcoat. Use over or under body fillers.
The Rust Encapsulator Quarts and Gallons can be sprayed right out of the can with a conventional HVLP spray gun with a 1.3 - 1.4 tip.

Questions & Answers
There is surface rust that has started to spread on the frame of my cargo trailer. How well will this product hold up to UV when applied to the forward exposed areas of the frame? Will a topcoat of paint be required?
This product is 100% UV stable and can be used as a stand-alone paint. However, our Chassis Black line of paints are great options for a durable topcoat for this product.

Can it be used to stop corrosion on the bead seat of aluminum or chrome alloy wheel rims??
If this comes in direct contact with the rust or corrosion it will suffocate it and cut off the oxygen supply so that it can not continue to grow.

What outside temperature can the non-aerosol formulation be applied at? Getting cold in the Northeast and wanted to do some touch up work before snow comes. Thanks!

If I am going to paint over this product with the body color on my truck, what is the prep I need to do. Scuff and Paint?
Please keep in mid we can only guarantee compatibility with the paints and coatings we sell. You will want to test a scrap piece of metal or small area first before applying another brand top coat over everything. This paint can be top coated as soon as 6-8 hours after applying it up until 24. After 24 hours has elapsed since applying this Encapsulator- it will have fully cured and would need to be sanded with 400-600 prior to top coating further.

What’s the curing process on it? And can I apply bed liner on top of it how long do I have to wait to add it , and do I have to scuff the encapsulator before applying it ? I would like to add it on too before it fully cures if I could without scuffing
Full cure for this product will be about 24 hours on average. This product can be used with the bed liner options that we sell but we can not guarantee compatibility with brands we do not sell- you would have to test this on your own. This product can be top coated without the need to sand 6-8 hours after applying your last coat of the Encapsulators.

I am redoing a whole frame and axels I'm gonna be preparing the the surface with PRE do I have to wipe or can I spray off with water?
Water is not recommended- it would invite more rust to occur. Our PRE painting prep or Acetone should be used.

Would this product be acceptable for the brake drums (outer surface) on my utility trailer?
This would not be best to stand alone for an application of this sort. If used it should be top coated with one of our 2k paints or 2k clears.

I just finished applying matte black encapsulater to my undercarriage and it looks great. Debating on if I should top coat it or just apply a second coat of the encapsulater. I like the matte black color.
You can go either way. The most durable option would be to top with the 2k Ceramic Chassis Black. However any of the Chassis blacks we sell can be used. If leaving the Encapsulator as the sole product- I would apply at least 2/3 coats.
