The formula reacts with iron oxide to form a protective compound in roughly 15 minutes, creates a barrier to moisture and gases, and simplifies preparation by removing the need for complete rust removal or rinsing. Made in Britain by Jenolite — a brand with decades of rust-treatment experience — the spray is convenient for gates, tools, brackets, garden furniture, vehicle panels and machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will it stop rust and what does the surface look like afterward?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe converter begins reacting within about 15 minutes and most visible rust turns a blue-black colour as the chemical bond forms.
