What Customers Are Saying
The Loctite Rust Neutralizer is a mixed-performance product. It effectively neutralizes and removes light to moderate rust, leaving a smooth, paintable surface. However, it may not fully address heavy or deeply embedded rust. The product is easy to use, dries quickly, and can stop rust from spreading. But some customers reported issues with the spray can functionality, such as clogging or premature loss of propellant. For best results, users should follow the instructions closely and apply multiple coats if needed, while also using an oil-based topcoat paint.

Did not produce results/ stopped spraying
Would Not RecommendThis product did not turn "black" as advertised, at the very best it put a gloss finish over the descaled/cleaned rusted area. While attempting to use the entire can in one pass this aerosol product stopped spraying with half the can still remaining. I returned this can for an exchange, plus purchased another can. Both of the additional cans did the exact same thing, the both either ran out of compressed gas or clogged halfway through the can. I attempted to continuously shake the can while usin...
I used the product on a metal wagon I am refinishing. It covered well, but took over two days to dry completely. However, once dry, it was perfect. I intend to use this on other projects, mainly bicycles.
