Do I need to use KBS Klean and RustBlast on sandblasted metal?

If the surface is freshly sandblasted and handled only with clean, gloved hands, you can typically skip those steps. However, if the metal was touched with bare hands or sat in a humid environment for more than a few hours, the full 3-step process is required for maximum adhesion.

How soon after sandblasting should I apply Motor Coater?

For best results, apply Motor Coater immediately after sandblasting. If the metal sits for more than a few hours, oxidation can begin to form, requiring the use of RustBlast to re-etch the surface.

Do I need to use RustBlast if my surface was just freshly sandblasted?

If the surface has been freshly sandblasted with clean media and handled only with clean, gloved hands, you can typically skip the KBS Klean and RustBlast steps.

CRITICAL: If the metal has been touched with bare hands (transferring skin oils) or has sat for more than a few hours in a humid environment or dirty environment, we strongly recommend the full 3-step process to ensure maximum coating adhesion.
