    I like the idea of brushing it on. For those of us that don’t have time to do a frame off treatment. Just areas that we already have access too. Or just trying to get more years out of an old truck.

    Man these videos are great. I am learning so much. Funny thing is I have been watching them looking at the tools and products going "oh that would be nice if I was rich". Then I finally went to the website and could kick myself. They are affordable. I just did my Bronco frame and after two days of scaling grinding sanding and wire wheel I needed to coat it. I spent more on a coating that i got local than i would have ordering from you guys. That is not that bad news it geys worse the stuff i bought looks like garbage two weeks later. So needless to say you will be seeing some orders from me real soon. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

    The instructions and demonstration are well done. It's so easy when you have all kinds of equipment and a building in which to work. Unfortunately, I have only a few power and hand tools and a driveway. Air compressors and such are for rich people. LOL

    You can get the same results using an angle grinder with a wire wheel. No need for all those fancy tools.

      Most likely, because the tool they used for getting the rust off just had multiple wire wheels it looks like, but you might need that thing with the needle like things to break rust, or just use heat and chip it off

      @@nicholasdunbar3378 Yeah, if you use the grinder attachment, it will take off too much material. I suggested a wire-wheel attachment. Sand Blasting is the best method as you can get to the hard to reach spots that a grinder can't get to.

    "Just two easy steps." Really? Add up the cost of the Eastwood tools and products, and the time it takes to complete a very unpleasant task, and you're north of the cost to media blast and powder coat.

      1 all you really need is a drill with a wire brush, a 5in grinder with a wire brush, and a wire brush.... and and air compressor for paint, some people do this stuff regularly and thus already have all those things, btw powder coat is terrible it doesnt last long in hard conditions, also a cheap sandblaster and air compressor would work well (although very messy) and would probably cost less than $250 to buy everything !

    Matt....what does the rust encapsulator and internal frame spray actually do to rust scale? Does it coat and seal it water/air tight? Is there any chance of the rust flaking off with bumps and frame flex exposing the bare rusty surface underneath?

    • @eastwoodco
      @eastwoodco  5 років тому +2

      Flaky rust will need to be removed. Rust Encapsulator and Internal Frame Coating coats the area to prevent air and moisture from getting to the metal, which prevents further corrosion.

      @@eastwoodco ok...I get that, but without sandblasting, how do you remove flakey rust from inside a box frame after using a power washer? I have two 1942 Ford G50E GPW Jeep frames that are essentially two C parts hot riveted and Huck bolted together to form a box frame.

      Depends on what you're using to coat the chassis. Eastwood Rust Encapsulator is designed to layer right over paint that's already there. You just want to be sure that your original layer of paint has a good bond.
