I remove any loose rust with a wire brush and then apply with a paint brush.
It goes on milky white and then dries to a clear color but makes the steel
underneath a blackish color. Make sure there is no grease or oil etc.. Wash
the brush out with water. The difference I found with this and phosphoric
acid is it leaves a hard clear coating when dry.

Thank you for your reply.

I have used a product that sounds similar that is basically phosphoric
acid which costs about the same. I assume you are talking about the Blue
Steel primer which is about $20/liter.

How exactly do you use it, please ?

Thanks,
Courtney

I have tried a lot of products over the years and the best I found and
the
easiest to use and clean up is called
"Blue Steel"
I get it from below

http://www.mermaidmarine.com/index.c...ductID=8930501

If that link won't work try www.mermaidmarine.com
and then choose Boat care then Paint and then scroll down until you see
Blue
Steel.

Looking for the simplest, least expensive way to rust inhibit and
refinish a [steel] sailboat trailer, after rust descaling.

If it matters, I'm thinking of doing this incrementally. It's 45' long.

Gratefully,

Courtney
