Battling Rust

[Orry Allison]

Hey yall any ideas on a good way to get the rust off the bottom of the deck. I'm using a steel brush on a drill at the moment. I have plans to repaint it before I put it to use soon.

Remove the loose rust with a wire wheel and use either POR-15 or this Rustoleum product. For all of they hype I have seen over the years about POR-15 in this application, in my experience, it doesn't work any better than the Rustoleum paint-over-rust product I have linked to. Both will wear off a bit in certain areas of the deck.

Dipping is the best way. Eliminates the cancer. Wet Grass. Fertilizer. Killer on metal. Dip n Epoxy n Paint.
