RUSTBUSTER FE-123 ‘BEST IN EVERY TEST’ RUST CONVERTER

Fe-123 is a modern rust converter that provides excellent results safely and effectively. After removing loose rust with a wire brush, apply Fe-123 by brush. Once applied, it reacts with the surface oxides, converting them into a stable, ready-to-coat surface. You can then overpaint for lasting protection.

How does Fe-123 Rust Converter work?

Fe-123 envelops rust at a molecular level, forming a neutral layer that shields the metal from moisture and oxygen. This layer prevents ion migration and stops further chemical reactions on the surface, preparing the metal for painting or waxing to ensure long-term protection.

Independent testing by Practical Classics magazine confirmed that Fe-123 not only converts rust but also provides a paint-ready foundation without the need for neutralization. It earned a perfect score of ten out of ten and also won ‘best in test’ in Classics Monthly’s long-term evaluations.

Product Description	A brush-applied rust converter for treating steel and iron before painting.
Directions	Summary instructions are as follows: De-grease the surface and remove loose rust with a wire brush. Shake the bottle well, pour a small amount of Fe-123 into a separate container, and apply it by brush directly to the surface rust, working it into the metal. Allow the product to react for 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the temperature (it may take longer in colder conditions). Fe-123 will initially turn purple upon contact with rust. Once the conversion is complete, the metal will turn black. If this doesn’t occur, there may not be enough oxides present, or it may be too cold. If Fe-123 gets on paintwork or bright (non-corroded) metal, let it dry and then remove it with a Scotch-Brite pad before painting. Once the conversion is complete, you can paint or wax directly over the treated surface. However, avoid applying zinc-rich coatings over Fe-123 because the reaction and latex barrier can interfere with the zinc particles’ electrical connection to the steel. Please see How To Use Fe-123 Rust Converter for comprehensive instructions.
Cleaning	Brushes and containers can be washed out in fresh water.
Shelf life	Shelf life is 12 months if stored at around 20c, assuming the product is not allowed to become contaminated. Do NOT allow it to freeze.
Safety	Fe-123 is classed as a non-hazardous product, but please wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection.
FAQs	Can I use Fe-123 on clean metal? Fe-123 specifically converts rust, so it needs oxidized iron to work effectively. If you apply it to clean metal without rust, the conversion won’t occur.I’ve painted Fe-123 onto bright, clean metal and it’s not working. What should I do? Fe-123 needs rust to convert. If you notice a milky or cream color after application, it indicates that the product hasn’t been effective. Remove it using a fine Scotch-Brite abrasive pad.Do I need to wash it off once converted? No, once Fe-123 has converted the rust to a dark purple color, it is ready to paint without additional washing.Can I use Fe-123 as a primer for EM121 No, Fe-123 is a rust converter designed solely for rusted surfaces and cannot serve as a primer for EM121. Can you leave Fe-123 uncoated? The duration Fe-123 can remain uncoated varies with conditions. However, after a month, the risk of re-rusting increases. How do I use Fe-123?
