Surface rust can occur when water is introduced to bare metal during rinsing, but this will not affect the KBS 3 Step Rust Prevention System or Tank Sealing System. To minimize flash rust, dry the surface immediately after rinsing before moving on to the next step.
If you have only light surface rust after rinsing, proceed to the next step — this is expected and normal.
Review the complete RustBlast Application Directions before starting your project for proper dwell time, rinsing, and drying guidance.
