About this deal

It is easy to apply and relatively innocuous - although I wore gloves, I didn't fear for my health as much as I've done with other products. The long-term performance of hydrate 80 has been proven to significantly increase coating life in independent tests conducted by the German TÜV organisation under conditions of VDA 621-415 (6 cycles, or 1008 hrs) which included exposure to hot salt-spray, 100% relative humidity and drying atmospheres with each cycle lasting 168 hours. Importantly for long-term protection Hydrate-80 doesn’t contain chlorine which is known to transform into corrosive hydrochloric acid in rust converter applications causing under-film blistering and destruction of paint finishes or other coating products. Most of the bits have been in Deox C for a while, and they're about 99% rust free, but under the heading of "Belt and braces" I was thinking about treating some parts with Hydrate 80.

I'm now unable to sleep because there's literally NO position I can lay in that doesn't start to hurt after 10 minutes ! Where rapid work progress is required hydrate 80 can usually be over coated after 3 hours without performance loss. If you are talking about filling small pitted rust marks you might find that epoxy, then a coat of high build primer is sufficient. Our Double Speed-Wax has won the “best wax and sealant” award in the Auto-Express magazine product awards for the last 4 years, winning 5 years in total. Surprisingly, the Deox-C actually seems to soften it up to the extent that a scotchbright pad will take it off without much work.Bilt Hamber hydrate 80 provides powerful protection to rusted steel surfaces, its electrochemical function stabilises existing corrosion by converting the iron oxides into a protective metal complex, it also combines with surface moisture and oxygen depriving the corrosion process of the conditions it requires. Please note that we do not take responsibility for any packages that are left safe or with a neighbour.

As Hydrate 80 will activate on clean steel the affected area should be cleaned beyond the visibly corroded surface, this will ensure complete treatment. All the enamel is either off already, or it's in the process of coming off, so that shouldn't be a factor in paint adhesion. As with all treatments preparation is important: Remove loose, flaky rust with a wire brush and abrasive paper (or if favoured power tools).The paint I've got is apparently good for 800'C, and as I've never seen the smaller diameter unpainted chimneys on the Aladdin greenhouse paraffin heaters so much as start to glow I'm assuming it's going to be somewhere south of 550/600'C, so I'm hoping it'll be fine. In that photo, the pot on top was just me seeing how long it took to boil a litre of water (18 minutes in that thermally sub optimal shaped cafetiere if you're curious), and the disc of 10mm steel was just to see how hot a (non chimney blocking) lid would get, then it stayed there as a sort of heat spreader.

I did think of coating things with a grease to keep flash rusting at bay, but was worried about the painter not removing it completely and ruining the paint job.Oh, BTW, before anyone has a panic attack about me running what is in essence a camping stove inside the house. You can haggle for a volume discount (enter a number of items), you can tell us you found it cheaper somewhere else (enter the web address), or you can simply 'make us an offer! If I paint it onto bare metal, but panels you can see, can fillers and paint to over the top of it trouble free?
