Weathering Steel

Application

Thick coat metal effect colouring system comprising Phase I Base material and Phase II Activator. May be applied to virtually any substrate imaginable. May be applied using various tools, consistently lending the processed surface a unique and distinctive appearance.

Product properties

Apply Jansen Edel-Rost wherever that individual rusty look is required inside or outside. After at least 3 Phase I coatings, the treated surface may also be used as a magnet board. A top coat (see final coat) may be applied for stain protection on interior surfaces. To achieve the typical ongoing slight change of appearance of exterior surfaces, we recommend allowing such surfaces to continue weathering. The activator may also be used to individually rust bare carbon steel or iron. Every surface is unique.
