Skyco OSPHO - Protecting Pot Belly Stoves Since 1947
You can go to 2:48 to skip my rambling :) I thought I would show you how I am taking care of rust on some things. Places you can find me! facebook: ...
You posted on a product im sure 13k oothers wated to see before they buy
the product , lmao, you crack me up , you think too much , you seem
confused, next time be ready an do what you need to , like spray ospho with
your killer spray bottle!!!!!!
I use ospho a lot with very good results. What you might want to do after
using the ospho and letting work for 45 minutes or an hour apply another
coat and let it spoke in even more. I have noticed if I don't apply it
enough times to get all the rust converted, rust can come back some. Be
sure to wire brush any loose rust first as well. Be sure and let it dry at
least 24 hours, and if around a pool, probably 48 hours to make sure it is
dry before priming and painting with an oil based primer. Tom
i c thats why/// told you i was assuming and thought it was redundunt you
did a good job on this vid and im a subscriber now keep it up we always
need this in the old car world yhere can never be too many opinions
this is good but if you wait and let it dry no need to rinse i let my apps
dry for 2 weeks and havent had any problems jus sayin... i appreciate
this guy
+Greg Miller that's the deal spi says " do not use our product with acids or it will fail , unless you rinse it well , and if it has dried you need to reactivate the acid with more acid then rinse to neutralize it . That was the whole deal with this vid was it was spi specific
+MrFireman164 i havent used spi brand but i have nevr had any issue with the eastwood or summit so im assuming{and u kno wat that does } that it wouldnt be any different but like i said assuming// but a test panel or spot would be way to go ? again just assuming
+MrFireman164 yes sir i do this is a great vid you do a good job explaining but i have never painted or primed as soon as 24 hrs after applying it I have always waited days to be sure its completely dry b4 prime or paint i just use a red sctchbrite to remove wat little {white} residue is there and go. i learned about ospho in the 70's when i lived in florida and that the humidity down thhere was so high it was wise to let it sit and dry so its just from tht experience that i wait days instead of hours
ohh… forgot to add, it also appears at 15:45 you did not wash panel No. 2
with water in the final step and just blew it off after applying the Ospho.
or did you actually wash it off with water but did not film that ? I bring
this up since you filmed washing off panel NO. 3 with water in your video.
Nice overall presentation. However with that said, unless I missed
something earlier in the this presentation, i perceive a deficiency in your
approach with the 3rd panel as can be observed at 3:51 as follows:
" You state that you will apply the Ospho on it initially, scrub it then
wash it Off With Water Real Good, and then dry it and then wait 24 hours,
then reapply the Ospho on it, then wash it with water then let it dry."
With this approach on panel No. 3 you have then effectively and essentially
repeated the same procedure as applied to panel No. 2. Why ? Because you
washed panel No.3 on the first round with water, thereby effectively
neutralizing the Ospho, then the next day you applied Ospho once again, let
it set for 5 minutes, then washed it off. Thereby effectively repeating
panel No. 2 approach !
What you should of done with panel No. 3:
Instead of rinsing with water initially, the Ospho should of been left on
the panel over night just like you did with panel No. 1, but then the next
day reapply the Ospho to reinitiate the acid, wait 5 minutes, then and only
then, thoroughly rinse with water, then thoroughly let dry, as this is the
proper approach as advised by Southern Urethanes epoxy primer instructions.
Products like "Ospho" or "A Must for Rust" are basically phosphoric acid
derivative solutions and are purpose created to allow one to clean up
metal, neutralize the oxidation by applying their phosphoric acid product
by letting it dry on the surface and effectively then allowing one to keep
the product on the metal surface so one has the option to store the clean
metal in a protected housed area which is free from dew and repeated
moisture without the risk of blush or new rust forming. Then when it comes
time to paint using epoxy systems, reactivate the acid by reapplying the
phosphoric acid product to the treated panel, then neutralizing the acid
with water, then drying the surface. Whereby one can then apply epoxy to
the previously treated surface safely without risk of adhesion failures
It appears that epoxy paint system configurations reacts with the
phosphoric residues on the treated unwashed surfaces whereby reportedly
other type paint systems do not react and the lightly scuffed white acid
residue actually helps adhesion. Therefore, one can conclude that epoxy is
the lone wolf here as a paint type system that will not adhere ideally to
an phosphoric acid treated surface. However, this premise is not to be
confused with the Cl- ion residue that is left behind on a surface after
using a sulfuric acid ( muriatic acid ) solution which is a completely
different can of worms as in if one does not neutralize the sulfuric Cl-
acid ion with a very strong base ( stronger then water ) like in using
baking soda which a has a higher base ph then neutral water, the Cl- acid
ion will re-induce oxidation (rust) at the molecular level on the metal
surface wherever the opportunity for exposure to oxygen carrying moisture
or exposed to atmosphere presents itself.
Yes , I should have let it sit overnight , but after reapplying the ospho , I didn't evinced that panel , I just wiped it down with a paper towl leaving residual ospho on the panel , which is the only panel that failed in my later ospho epoxy test . Did I do it perfect ? Probably not . Will I use ospho with spi epoxy ? No way, not without neutralizing the panel by rinsing it well after reactivating the acid , ang maybe not even then
