Naval Jelly

Captain Rich Adler · 01-14-2008, 10:54 PM

I've got some rust building up on the back end of my engines, and want to paint them. Anybody with some experience with this stuff? Can I use it in cold temperatures? Does it have to be rinsed off, or is wire brushing enough??

First off,you need to brush off any loose rust.Then apply the naval jelly.Let it dry.Brush it off and reapply more jelly.Let it dry again.Then brush off as much as you can.Prime paint it and then paint it.

The only thing i know about that stuff other than it works well is that you do not want to spill any on gel-coated surfaces

The stain is purple and last for years

Damn, and here I thought you guys were going to tell me how to keep lint out of my belly button!

Sorry. I couldn't help it.

The jelly may be good to remove the rust, but you might want to try some Ospho. Its a coating that will work good as a primer and seal out the rust.
