PRODUCT INFORMATION DATA SHEETS RUST HOLE REPAIR KIT PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Metal Ready 250mls: Removes surface rust and coats metal with zinc phosphate. It also helps provide adhesion to smooth metal and aluminium. POR 15 Rust Preventive Paint 100mls: POR 15 Rust Preventive Paint is a non porous paint designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to a rock-hard finish that won’t chip, crack or peel, and it prevents rust from re-occurring by protecting the metal from further exposure to moisture. Fiber Tech Patch: Is a curable, self adhesive GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) material in sheet form, for adding strength to the panel, and providing a permanent base for the filler. P 38, 60mls: Is a two component polyester surface filler, used for filling holes or imperfections. Tie-Coat 100mls: Is a single pack, sandable primer used for tying in topcoats with primers and fillers. This Kit also contains 3 brushes, one each for Metal Ready, POR 15 Rust Preventive Paint, and Tie-Coat. A pair of gloves and sandpaper.

PROCEDURE - Remove all foreign material from surrounding areas, if any wax’s, oil’s or grease are present these must be removed with Marine Clean or similar water based degreaser. (Not solvent based preps).
- Remove any loose paint on and around rusted area. The best method is to expose the metal completely around the rusted area, to be sure that rust has not tracked under the paint, but as yet has not bubbled through.
- Rough up surrounding paint with sandpaper, this preparation should be done to both sides of the rust hole were practical.
- Apply Metal Ready to rusted metal and smooth surfaces with brush provided, surfaces should remain wet with Metal Ready for a minimum of 15 - 20 minutes, a longer period will not harm metal, only continue to remove rust if heavily rusted.
- Rinse off with water, sponge or cloth is best. This will leave behind a coating of zinc phosphate.
- Leave to dry. Metal must be bone dry before moving onto painting.
- Apply a minimum of two thin covering coats of POR 15 Rust Preventive Paint to the exposed metal on both sides of the panel.
a. Apply the second coat only after the first coat is dry to the touch, generally this is about 3-4 hours - depending on humidity. The higher the humidity the faster it will dry. - Once the final coat is dry, the Fiber Tech Patch maybe applied. Cut and fit as required to the back of the panel.
a. Remove backing to expose adhesive and press firmly into place.
b. Expose the Patch to UV light (sunlight) for 10-15 minutes in full sunlight, longer if shaded, until the patch is hard. - Mix P38 according to directions on packet - 4 lengths of paste on 1 length of hardener, and mix. The paste is useable until it begins to gel or stiffen. Usually this will be after 5 - 10 minutes. We recommend applying P38, within 12 hours of POR 15 Rust Preventive Paint being touch dry to ensure good adhesion.
a. Use applicator provided with the filler to apply to gap / recess to be filled. Filler will normally be hard within 30 minutes.
b. Sand to desired finish, with paper provided.

Lightly sand if required.
