The IVD expert tells how the anti-corrosion enamel helps to cope with rust and how to use it for gas pipes, a retractable gate at the cottage and not only.
Where can I use anti-corrosion enamel?
At the beginning of the summer season, it took me to update the appearance of several metal fragments of the country "phasenda". Moreover, I did not want to spend time and strength to fulfill a full-scale list of necessary technological operations - anti-corrosion, primer, enamel coating and both completion - protective varnish.
In real time saving, strength and finance, I was helped by the acquisition of "quick-drying soil enamel on rust 4 in 1" vixen. It combines the properties of primer, anti-corrosion composition, decorative enamel and protective varnish. This promises to significantly reduce the time for updating metal objects and combine all the necessary steps - the fight against rust, applying primer and paint.

Enamel is designed for staining rusted or corrosive surfaces. In addition, it can be used for wood, glass and stone, both for internal and external work.
Gas pipe
I purchased the enamel of three colors - rapeseed yellow, green moss, gray window. The recently spent main gas presents high requirements for its use. One of them is the mandatory color of the supply pipes of the stuffing house on the outer walls in yellow. Therefore, a bottle with rapeseed yellow enamel was acquired for Gaza for Gaza.
Sliding gates
Last year, at the entrance to the country site, homemade sliding gates were mounted, which did not have enough paints on the painting. For winter, the rack of the gate managed to be covered with a corrosive grid. It took the urgent "renovation" and the "gray window" went into the case.
Cover electric pillar
The name of the enamel "Green Moss" I just liked my name, and I thought that in the country there always there is an object that would like to disguise under a true natural summer kole. And not very mistake. In the center of the forest part of the countryside, we have a concrete pillar with electric separation, looking very odiously against the background of the spring rusty of foliage. That's it precisely to mask the side steel cover of an electric pillar "Green Moss" turned out to be as impossible by the way.
Real experience of applying anti-corrosion enamel: pros and cons
Soil enamel is well superimposed on the stained surface, even if there is a rust. The tool not only gives long-term corrosion protection, but also transforms old metal objects from the aesthetic side. And besides, increases resistance to mechanical and atmospheric influences.
Another advantage is that it does not flow on the vertical surface - it is clearly visible in the photograph of the steel cover of the concrete pillar. Enamel has increased shelterness, in which I was convinced personally in the color of the gas pipe.
Anticorrosion components give additional protection against corrosion, but if you apply enamel on the already rusty surface, the process will be able to stop.
Acknowledge, having spent in practice three braces of composition, I discovered one relative drawback. Moreover, it concerns not precisely specifically for this brand of enamel, but generally sprayed fine painting compositions.
The fact is that when staining narrow parts or pipes of small diameters, sprayed from a distance of 25-30 cm. The painted torch covers the enamel not only the desired object, but also the surrounding surface. Moreover, the latter leaves most of the enamel sprayed. Of course, when painting pipes, you can use the traditional fluste brush. However, the wonderful combination technological effect will be missed, achieved by the use of "quick-drying soil-enamel on rust 4 in 1" Vixen. In addition, it is from the aerosol that it is easier to paint the geometrically complex objects, the same small pipes. And in order for enamel to enter the surrounding items, it is better to close their film
Emale consumption with complete surface shelter - 100-180 grams / m2 (depending on the color and number of layers).
