Have a glass blasted car in for paint. Needed to apply Ospho for surface light rust that developed. We are trying to determine how to neutralize before epoxy primer goes on.
Instructions say brush off dry powder then wipe with mineral spirits. In another section it says to etch wet with Ospho for 30 minutes then wash down with water. That seems risky due to flash rust. Anyone have experience to recommend which way to go. TIA Terry |

Appreciate all the input but stills concerns me.
I called Ospho tech assistant line. Neutralizing with water only if you are etching new metal. If rust then let it dry and wipe with mineral spirits. I Noted that it said test if using epoxy primer…..and we are. They said not always but has been issue which means it could be. Finally he advised to use metal etching primer and then use epoxy. Anyone want to comment further is certainly welcome. All of this rattles me as don’t need any experiments or disasters as you can well understand. Thanks again |
