Product Information

That’s why we were a little underwhelmed that the Hydrate-80 didn’t come out as the top performer here. This stuff is really watery so be careful not to splash it everywhere when painting it on.

Hammerite Kurust 250 ml - Paint Direct

Hammerite has a reputation for easy-to-use rust-beating products, and the Kurust shows why. We were dubious at first because the liquid was watery when applied and seemed to want to bead off the surface rather than soak in, but after 15 minutes our sample had turned dark blue and allowed us to apply another coat. This gave impressive protection, matching the Bilt-Hamber. It can be applied by brush to surfaces includingBBQs, fire surrounds, garage doors, metal doors, metal garden furniture, metal gates, metal railings and radiators with no primer or undercoat needed.

Special precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust during surface preparation of pre-1960’s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead. Caution Wood by name, wood by nature.

The milky fluid from the Rustins jar was certainly easy enough to apply, although it seemed to sit on our rust rather than soaking in, and took far longer than the others to cure into a paintable surface. By brush: apply directly to the rusty area, working well into heavily pitted areas, corners and edges.

The fluid didn’t seem to penetrate and bond into the metal, appearing to film a skin over the top of the rust instead. This meant its protection performance was poor, especially on the painted surface. It was the only sample that showed signs of actual paint flaking by the end of the test. As you can see this is a really rusty piece of metal, so should be a really good test subject. The Metal Wire Brushed Using Kurust It was the first sample to show rust reappearing, and by the end of the test period the protection had almost completely disappeared from the unpainted side, and was starting to reappear on the other face too. Although cheap, the bottle is tiny at just 90ml, so it also represents poor value. here is the rusty metal that I will be painting today. I have wire brushed it and cleaned it as instructed by Hammerite themselves.The surprise was that the consistency was so different from that of the Jenolite liquid (p58), because it was far more clinging and waxy. The performance was exceptional, too, with the least corrosion showing on our sample. It’s not cheap, but it’s also far from expensive. Apply by brush directly to the rust. Work well into corners, edges and heavily pitted areas. Avoid applying Kurust to painted areas.

Rust or corrosion damages metal surfaces and leave dirty, brown spots. Hammerite helps you get rid of rust and revive your metal objects.

The instructions from Hammerite state the following:Remote areas/Scottish Highlands and non-UK Mainland areas may be subject to additional charges and a longer delivery time. This is determined by our couriers not Rustbuster. If you are getting underneath a car, make sure you use axle stands or ramps and wear eye protection and a mask. Any areas that are holed will need welding, so don’t waste your time with treatment, but surface rust should be rubbed with a wire brush and then painted with a converter. If you are treating a rust bubble on the bodywork, you will want to remove as much of the rust as possible before treating or it will soon reappear under any filler and top coat. Do you have some really rusty metal that you want to paint but you think it may be a little too rusty, even for something like Hammerite? Well, that is where products like Kurust come in. It’s third because of its relatively poor value, but the smaller bottle could make sense if you have only a small area to treat.

Kurust - 250ml - Wilco Direct

One side of the steel sample was left unpainted while the other was sprayed with a single coat of primer and acrylic top coat, replicating a typical DIY repair. Once dry, the samples were then doused daily in salty water for four weeks to encourage any corrosion to reappear. We then scored them on ease of use, rust-resisting performance and price. Verdict There are numerous types of these potions on the market, and they all claim to be the best, so we tested a selection of products to see which you should trust to sort your rust. How we tested them Clean surface by removing all loose paint and rust, dirt, grease and salt. Rinse with clean water and allow time to dry

HI Sam Hope you are well How did this test turn out ? I have just bought an aerosol of Jenolite rust converter and 2 bottles of Kurust (250ml) Even on the bodywork a stone chip or scratch can soon grow into a nasty blister, and you need to treat rust properly to stop it spreading. Rust removal involves spending hours with a wire brush or strong acidic chemicals that are dangerous to use, so it is far easier and safer to use a rust converter. These stop reaction in the metal using special ingredients, which neutralise the corrosion and allow you to paint over it. So that’s what Kurust looks like, almost a milky substance, I don’t know what I was expecting to be honest but here it is. The Metal However, any protection it offered was short-lived, and by the end of the test the unpainted side was almost uniformly corroded again. The rust was starting to creep onto the edges of the other face, too. Let’s open the bottle up and see what this stuff looks like, I have never used it before so have no idea what’s inside.
