Like our regular Rust Encapsulators, this textured formula seals and stops rust and corrosion from spreading, but it does more—apply it over rusted and surrounding clean metal and it turns it all into a textured surface that hides the rust!
Tested against well-known brands, the family of Eastwood Rust Encapsulators has proven to be superior in sunlight resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability. Twice the corrosion resistance of our original formula for greater durability (tested to 500 hours in a salt-spray chamber).
What's Included
15-oz. aerosol can of Textured Rust Encapsulator
Instructions & Guides
Use a wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and paint, and remove dust, grease and oil deposits. Feather surrounding paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Shake can for at least 2 minutes once the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the Textured 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 degreesF. 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.
Safety Information
Work in a well-ventilated area when applying this product. The use of a respirator is recommended. Shake vigorously for 2 minutes before spraying. Consult MSDS for specific safety warnings.

Can bondo go over this?
Asked by: Steve
Yes, it can be used as a base layer to seal and protect rusted areas before applying body filler. However, it is crucial to allow the Rust Encapsulator to cure fully before applying the body filler to ensure proper adhesion and effectiveness.
