Help! I have some panels that are rusty on the back side. I'm sure that they blast through if I had them sand blasted. I would like to grind off the heavy rust and then coat with rust converter. Would it be a waste of time and money? Are rust converters all the same?

You might do a web search to see if anyone has done a comparative study on the subject. I use Loctite's product and have had good results with it. Eastwood and others market a similar product.

I used Eastwoods 2 part brush/spray rust converter it worked really well and then followed up with a coat of Eastwood Rust Encapsulator ....was well pleased with how they worked together.

Thanks for the ideas. There are a lot of choices on the web. One part, two, three . . . amazing. Not sure yet what I will use. I am incouraged that this stuff really does work.
