I just use a garden sprayer with ATF and bar and chain oil mix in it, connected to a piece of aquarium tube with the end plugged with a piece of dowel rod and four holes drilled just before the dowel plug. Shove it throughout your frame and spray away. Works great.
I am a old school mechanic. One thing I can tell you is that die grinder will destroy your ears. Dont forget to throw in the safety side of things like Norm Abrams use to do.
Can you show us what your talking about with the flange repair. Should It be spot welded or hole punch and spot welded through. Or use some kind of panel adhesive and hold that in place with tech screws. Or is butting the panels up next to one another the better repair. Maybe just examples of when to use a flange and where not to flange
Which solution you go with depends on the project/problem you're trying to overcome. Fast Etch is great for light surface/flash rust, converter is good for deeper frame rust as well as rust encapsulator for sealing off and giving you a nice paintable surface.
The frame tube spray thingy needs a pinwheel at the end to disperse the coating outward. What I witnessed was a bit of a fail. Let me know where I can collect my royalties for this industry changing idea of mine. I will take payment in Fast Etch and Prep Spray.
At 33 minutes and he mentions that a black coating is left behind that is called magnesium phosphate not zinc phosphate. Zinc phosphate will leave it nickel colored coding. Magnesium phosphate is called Parkerized
Can you use fast etch on random metal spots that have been sanded through when you block the hi build primer? will the fast etch ever hurt the epoxy base layer or the polyester or high build primer? just curious as we have all had spots where we sanded through the primer while blocking and it sits in bare steel spots for a few days before touching up with epoxy then another coat of high build. obviously i can sand these small spots to be sure i was just checking on the product info
I have a question for u guys. Im working on a 1977 Lincoln continental. I will be doing a full frame off restoration. Should i treat the rust on the fenders to stop the damage. Till i patch the hole. Or wait till i patch the hole?
If you're not starting soon, you can treat the rust so it doesn't get worse until you're able to patch the area. Check out our new Rust Encapsulator Platinum that provides 3x the protection of original encapsulator and demolishes the competition: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-rust-encapsulator-platinum.html
First off I love the videos and Eastwood but there is some conflicting information with the encapsualters and rust converter applications if you watch all the videos. I want to do my frame once a do it right without seeing it rusting in a year or two.Is just wire brushing, pre or a grease remover then doing the encapsulator then chassis black extreem good enough or do I have to do the rust converter first?
+Rob Egerton Try to remove as much of the rust as possible, including in any pits. This can be done with abrasive discs, wire brushes, chemicals or by blasting. If you have it stripped completely to bare metal, you can apply epoxy primer. If there is still some rust, apply Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. If the rust was only in the pits when you sprayed the Rust Encapsulator, you can then sand the frame, leaving bare metal exposed and the Rust Encapsulator still coating the problem areas in the pits.

Does anyone have any tips on how to take off just the first layer of paint off and not the original paint underneath? I have a truck that has been poorly painted over the original paint job and the original paint job had original lettering on the doors that I would like to get to so I can restore the truck with original paint color, scheme, and lettering.
What happens if you don't remove the fast etch completely and try to paint it. My truck frame is only starting to show the slightest signs of rust and I am thinking of using fast etch to remove the rust, then spraying and anti-rust primer to prevent further rusting. Finally I would add a rubberized undercoat on top to protect from chipping. Is there anything wrong with this method? Any suggestions?
+skyler guerette You want to remove all of the Fast Etch before painting. Have you looked into Eastwood Rust Encapsulator? We also offer Rubberized Rust Encapsulator. If you want to discuss your project with an Eastwood Tech who can make sure you get the right product to do the job right, please call 866.759.2131.

Exactly, I have tried to tell so many people for years, Aluminum CAN rust. It's just a different metal. All types of rust are simply corrosion. Thanks for saying it out loud.
My God give it a break we all know what rust is get to the freaking point and say what needs to take care of to take care of your problems and been away with it we don't need to go through all your freaking life get a grip
sorry but you said the dumbest thing iv ever heard in my life plastic dose not rust plastic can be out side for 100's of yrs with no damage of any kind if its not in the sun its the uv light that dose this not the rust form of oxidation from water and air reactions.

Thanks Eastwood, and thanks for opening a store in Parma Ohio, I'm going there today for advice for my chevelle frame.
This guy (actor) is a great product rep. Eastwood should sign him up or give him a raise
I have the old Paintucation video set. Would love to see some updated ones.

This video is a great resource.
Does Eastwood have a internal frame tool to loosen the flakey stuff before I use the internal frame coating?

This video's is taking so long I am starting to rust.
maybe it's your crusty BAAAAALLS. Quit your moaning.
You just need to be sprayed with fast etch or rust dissolver
Do you recommend rust converters
With the tannic acid and polymers

It sprays out in a fan pattern. Check out this video: czcams.com/video/LNIclE8lVnM/video.html
Can you utilize this process for Under carriage rust?

Here they are. Kevin recently made a new video on painting a truck: www.eastwood.com/paintucation-6-dvd-set.html
I want Kevin and his buddies to help me with my project.... Dan

Very fine paper and a very soft touch. Good luck with that...
17:50 what disc are you using?
Think you may be out of focus. Can't read any of your products names on the containers.

+Eastwood Company Would hosing down the fast etch with water work or do you need a special cleaner?
Can you repost in higher quality and correct aspect ratio?

Well at least get your camera workers to tilt down. We get it. You are short. Get over it. (smiley face thingy).
Is kevin tetz still with eastwood
Wondering the same thing, where has Keven Titz been lately
I enjoy these how-to videos from Kevin very much but what happened to your video quality???
+Mark Helms I think the quality is lower because it was originally a live stream.
+Travis In Canada Their other live-stream videos have been much better though.
+Travis In Canada yea other live streams have been higher resolution.
+Mark Helms It's a download of a live video from a different site and there was an issue when it was recorded. This is the first time we had this problem and we're working to avoid it in the future.
+Eastwood Company Thanks for the response. Still plenty of good info here. It just makes it hard to see some of the details being pointed out.
Not only ferrous metals oxidize. Aluminum comes to mind...
Edit: Posted that about 45 seconds too prematurely. lol
You'd think Eastwood could afford a high def camera.

if aluminum is attached to a different type of metal I've seen the aluminum disintegrate
Stuff settles in the can...………...
This video was filmed on a potato
Coca Cola gets rid of rust :)
You should spend some time educating your employees they don't even know what the hell you're selling when you ask them a question
If no one is going to the er the job isn't being done right
Definitely blurry looks like a video from 1980s. Camera guy Steve needs to get his prescription renewed on his glasses.
Tetz or Teets?
Pronounced Tates.
