If you came to see us at The National Painting and Decorating Show last week then you’ll have seen that we were shouting about our ‘Masters in Metal Protection’.

Hi, I have a raw steel staircase which I want to treat to prevent rust forming, it needs to be non-slip and preserve the look of the raw steel.
Please can you recommend which product to use? Owatrol Oil?
Thanks
Hi there Olly,
Owatrol Oil is perfect for the treatment of rust and to prevent it from returning. It should be noted though that Owatrol Oil is simply a rust inhibitor and as such does not offer any non-slip qualities. However, it is not a glossy finish either, so we would recommend purchasing a 100ml sample pot and testing it on a small area to see if it is suitable for your needs: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/owatrol-oil/ they are £5 with free shipping.
All the best,

HI THERE,
can you please tell me which product i could use – i have stripped and sanded a vintage metal rought iron bench frame – it was covered in old paint but i now have it completely paint and rust free – it´s back to the bare metal.
because i like how the bare metal look i would prefer not to paint it with a coloured metal paint. It will be in my garden all year round so obviously i intend to protect the metal from the elements and to avoid rust.
i would like a matt finnish – can i therefore just take the owatra oil paint conditioner only (say 2 coats) or is this product intended to be used under an oil based paint?
cheers

Hi there Siobhan,
Yes, you can use Owatrol Oil on its own to protect metal – it does not have to be mixed into a paint.
All the best,

Hi I have a Cotten rusted firepit bit would like to seal it now that it has rusted to a nice colour. I want to seal it so the rust does not transfer to clothing and remains stable. Which one of your products would work best? Thank you
Hi there Ash,
Owatrol Oil provides a tough, flexible finish that pushes out excess moisture and air from rusted surfaces, displacing it from the metal and so stopping further rusting.
After application of Owatrol Oil, you could simply leave it as it is, or you could then apply a clear varnish such as Oxid Vernis: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/oxid-vernis/
I hope this was helpful.

Hi there,
I have a forged metal garden gate that I have cleaned and carefully grinded/wirebrushed back to bare, raw metal.
I would like to retain the forged hammered look of the raw forged metal finish but also effectively protect it against the outdoor elements and rust. I was thinking of using Owatrol Oil on it’s own but would appreciate advice. Would Owatol oil be suitable for this outdoor treatment? is the oil finish glossy or matt? Would it need to be re-applied regularly in your opinion? Thank you!
Kind Regards,
Trao
Hi there Trao,
For metal that has been cleaned back to a bright finish, we recommend using an application of Owatrol Oil followed by an application of Oxid Vernis. Owatrol Oil has a transparent matt finish and Oxid Vernis has an option of finishes – gloss, matt and satin.
The Owatrol Oil will act as a primer and rust inhibitor to protect the metal and the Oxid Vernis will keep the Owatrol Oil sealed in to do its job.

Hi there,
I’d like to know which is the best product to protect steelwork located by an indoor swimming pool from rusting and chemical attack
Thanks, Chris
Hi there Chris,
Unfortunately we do not have anything in the Owatrol range that would be suitable for you to use. For this particular surface and environment you would ideally need to use a 2 pack epoxy finish. This is because:
1 – Getting the substrate dry enough to coat is difficult as the humidity in a swimming pool area is very high.
2 – Due to the very high humidity, drying of our coatings will take a very long time.
3 – Chlorine in the air from the pool is aggressive will readily attack a coating and ours are not designed for this type of application. Ideally you need a 2 pack epoxy finish.
I hope this was helpful information. Sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. We wish you the best of luck.
All the best,
The Owatrol Team
