For you restorers


 
I only watched for a while; hopefully can look at the rest when time allows. My initial reaction is that I use POR-15 on parts with serious rust issues - not on clean flat pieces of metal. I have always been impressed with how the pieces I treat are strengthened. I am not ready to give up on it yet!
 
I have not tried that Eastwood product, but I am surprised as well. I loved their spray can rust treatment, but I have to say that for whatever reason, no matter how hard I tried to clear out the cans after each use, they pretty much always gummed up and would no longer work after just one or two uses. Maybe I just didn't do it right, but their quality product is expensive, so I had to give up on it. Also, I tried to get them to send me new nozzles, but that was back when COVID was still a big deal. They were apparently in a mess at that point and never fulfilled their promise to send them to me.
 
I had time to watch the entire video and have been a regular user of the Eastwood product. I, too, had the same problem with their aerosols as @Jon Tofte. New nozzles didn’t consistently help and I eventually grew tired of throwing away $$ on half-used cans. I now use their brush on product although a bit grudgingly since they weren’t very helpful with the aerosol issue when I reached out to them. FWIW - I use the Raptor product as well. Theirs doesn’t seem to spray very well even if it’s a brand new can. There always seems to be a bit of spatter. At least I’m able to clean the nozzles and use the whole can with their product. Maybe it’s time to give something else a try.

Yah, I watched it all. I had never heard of the MasterCoat stuff. It does seem to be the better overall product. Especially for rust prevention.

Also, if you have a clogged tip, try stealing one off another can of paint, even used cans.
