FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

A selection of the most common questions, but please contact us for further information.

 

How do I prepare a rusty surface? As Jenoseel actually uses rust, it does not need such a high degree of preparation as conventional products. Thoroughly scrape to remove all heavy build-up of rust. Chip or needle gun around bolt heads etc. Grinding is not recommended as this can polish. Wire brush or rub down to finish. After preparation and cleaning, ‘peaks’ should show white metal. See Application details for fuller information.

 

Do I need to shot blast? Very rarely. Only if the structure is badly corroded, when blasting may be quicker than hand preparation. If blasting, SA2 standard is adequate for Jenoseel.

 

Can Jenoseel be applied over thick rust?  No! Whilst Jenoseel actually uses rust, for long-term protection prepare as above.

 

How is Jenoseel applied? Very easily, stir very thoroughly and apply by brush.

 

Can Jenoseel be sprayed? Not recommended. Jenoseel is designed to penetrate into rust and spraying  can tend to ‘lay on’.

 

What is the coverage? Depending on profile of surface, average 8-10 M2/Litre.

 

How many coats? Two

 

Why? Just one coat of any product may mean that the ‘peaks’ are not adequately covered.

 

How long between coats of Jenoseel Primer? 10-15 minutes only, 1 hour maximum, given good airflow.

 

How long to apply finish coats? See ‘How to Use’ - ‘Application’

 

How do I clean my brushes? Use our No. 4 Cleaner. For small areas, use disposable brushes.

 

What top coats? Jenoseel may be overcoated with most products. We can supply a full range of top coats to suit most applications. Please seek advice.

 

How long does Jenoseel last? Depends on situation, thoroughness of preparation, top coats etc. Because Jenoseel stabilises existing rust and actively fights future corrosion, a Jenoseel system will give longest possible life in most situations. Typical external structures 10-20 years to first major maintenance.

 

How do I obtain Jenoseel?  See Ordering page.

 

What is delivery time? Usually 2-3 working days for mainland England.
