Questions & Answers
Will this loosen a rusty bolt
Great question, Emmod! Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly can help remove rust, but it’s not a penetrating oil. It works by dissolving rust, which may help loosen a rusty bolt over time, but it doesn’t seep into threads or lubricate. For best results, remove rust first, if needed, then use a penetrating oil to help free stuck bolts. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Can it be sprayed on
Thank you for your interest! Due to the nature of Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly being thicker to help cling on to the surface, it cannot be sprayed. For best results, liberally brush Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly onto the surface. Wait 15-20 minutes. Rinse with clean water and allow the surface to dry. For heavy rust, a longer wait time may be required. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
Can this product be used on a metal shower rod?
Happy to help, Glenn! Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly removes rust from metal surfaces. It is not recommended for chrome or soft metals, including aluminum. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure favorable results. Full details can be found on the technical data sheet. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/3f/3f60eb44-846b-4250-9fe9-79fce47350ea.pdf — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Pool steps totally submerged. Can this product be used on hand rails.
Good question, Aldo. We would not recommend using the Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly for this application because of the risk of the product dripping into the pool. It could also not be used for any surface that was below the waterline. — Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
can this be used on cast iron?
Great question! Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly can be applied to cast iron surfaces, apart from cast iron cookware, as it is not certified for use on food contact surfaces. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
How much coverage?
That is a good question, Ralph! Due to the nature of Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly, we do not have a recommended coverage rate. It will be heavily dependent on the surface type, application method, and the amount of rust on the surface. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
Well this work on my BBQ Pit? On the rack when I don't use it often it rustes up
We are happy to help. We would not recommend using Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver on any surface that food encounters. Currently, we do not have any rust-removing product suitable for that purpose. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
This is just phosphoric acid
We are happy to explain this for you, Mike. While Rust-Oleum Rust Dissolver Jelly is a proprietary blend of ingredients, the formula contains both Phosphoric Acid and D-Gluconic Acid, as stated in Section 3 of the Safety Data Sheet. https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/d4/d4d97223-17db-4a17-ba31-3a8bf69845d5.pdf - Rust-Oleum Product Support 15
