If you rub one of your fingers along the mirror you will observe that the moisture will
gather into a few droplets of water which will have become heavy enough to run
down the glass. That is exactly what Owatrol Oil does inside the rusts’ pores. It
pushes out and displaces all traces of moisture and air / oxygen (aka rust food)
taking over and occupying those pores completely.
Like water in a glass, when full it is full and you cannot add any more. Same with the
inside of the rust pores, when they have become full of Owatrol oil, they cannot take
in anything else such as moisture or even oxygen because the pores are totally full of
the oil, which in turn means that the rust, starved if its vital food, cannot return for a
very long time indeed. There are many other better known ‘rust solutions’ out there
but none of them can do what Owatrol Oil can do. They all tend to go over the
problem. Owatrol Oil deals with the real underlying core issue... removal of ‘rust
food’ or the root of the problem from places no other treatment can get into,
thereby preventing return of the rust. After several years, movement / expansion /
contraction, UV rays, wear & tear etc. will begin to reduce the effectiveness of the
Owatrol protection and rust will begin to reappear. Nothing, as we know lasts
forever.
Best method or practices for treating and preventing
rust using Owatrol Oil
To keep this simple I would describe the two main rust types you will encounter,
Heavy Rust Scale and Tight Rust with not much loose or heavy scale. We will deal
with the worst case first.
Heavy rust scale
Traditionally one got a scraper and hammer or other mechanical means to remove
heavy rust scale prior to any repainting job. This is a tedious, blister raising, labour
intensive process which can be drastically simplified with Owatrol Oil. Here’s how...
Step one: Firstly if you are
working on steel railings etc. that
are mounted on a granite stone
base etc., cover the stone with
plastic sheeting to prevent the
Owatrol dripping down on to it
from the steel above.
Using a 50mm approx. paint
brush (or a spray device) saturate
a section of the heavily scaled
rust totally with Owatrol oil
working from the top down.
Cover Granite or base to
prevent Owatrol getting on
same
Saturate with Owatrol. Wipe
off any excess to avoid
'skinning'
Leave for half an hour or so to soak in fully and then, using a standard 2” / 50mm
scraper or even a putty knife you can remove the scale with the greatest of ease.
Anything loose will simply fall off. Any rust left behind, as long as it is firm can be
regarded as part of your future layer of the steel’s protection because it has now
been saturated with Owatrol Oil (moisture and oxygen = rust food has been
displaced by the oil).
