Nobody likes to scrape rust off, that’s why the best thing about Evapo-Rust is its easy application and impeccable results.
How to remove rust from the garage door in 5 easy steps
Want to make your garage door look like new? Follow these simple steps to remove rust from its entire surface to avoid malfunctioning and wasting time and resources on it.
1. Correct preparation:
Prepare a bucket with warm water and soap (or detergent), take a sponge or large cloth and wipe off any dirt that may have accumulated. In addition, the product will perform better if you remove the remains of adhesives or silicone that may be stuck on the door.
2. Easy application:
Although this is a safe product, whenever you are going to carry out a maintenance task it’s better to wear protective goggles as well as resistant gloves. Start by soaking those rusted parts that are removable from the main mechanism. Soak them in Evapo-Rust and let it work while you continue with the rest.
For large parts or surfaces that cannot be disassembled, use a non-pleated paper towel or large cloth to soak in the product and wrap it around those parts. Whenever possible, it is recommended to cover with plastic wrap to promote proper penetration of Evapo-Rust into the metal surface and leave for up to 12 hours.
3. The importance of cleaning:
Once the necessary time has expired, it is essential to thoroughly rinse all parts with water, those that have been immersed in the product and those that have been soaked directly. When all product residue has been removed, dry with a cloth to remove all moisture.
4. Repair, if necessary:
Sand rough spots and fill holes with a metal bonding agent. Once the bonding agent has dried, sand with a fine-grit sandpaper. For best results before painting, sand the entire door lightly to prepare the surface. When you have finished, wipe off the dust with a dry cloth.
5. Primer and/or paint to finish:
Be sure to use a rust-resistant primer and paint for metal garage doors. Before painting the door, it is advisable to apply primer to ensure better adhesion of the paint. Let the primer dry thoroughly and repaint with a color of your choice.
That’s how easy it is to remove rust from your garage door and leave it in perfect condition!
