Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator, Ultimate Test: 2 years Later!

[@chrisprice4420]

Yup Eastwood has some great products out there. Looking forward to the video on the Coronet.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Chris! I’m editing now. I had over an hours worth of footage, from over 10 hours work. Trying to compress it.

[@BigMikesHooptyBarn]

That's cool Joe. I haven't been with you for 2 years and I haven't been through all of your older content so that is cool to see. And I'd say that is about as fair as possible for a durability test with those products.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Big Mike. I actually wore my camera on my head. It looked like a first person shooter video game. 🤣

[@josephpuchel6497]

EastWood rust encapsulator performs very well. Used it on a 89 K5 Blazer. Still rust free. There’s a half dollar size spot of green rust encapsulator on my parents driveway. It’s still there hasn’t worn away after 15 years. It’s been beaten down by heat of asphalt, rain , ice and snow and still there. This in it self tells you something about the product’s performance.

[@JustMoparJoe]

That’s impressive! Thanks for sharing

[@musclecarmitch908]

Cool to see how well products stand up to time and weather! Thanks for sharing!👍

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks for watching, Mitch!

[@desertmopars3336]

The Eastwood encapsulator seems decent. I have heard nothing but good things about Raptor Liner, and it looks as though they may be true. We appreciate you sharing buddy, thanks...

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks brother

[@donaldhalls2189]

That rock liner seems pretty dang good, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Donald!

[@ShortBedWilly]

Hey how you doing bro how Much the bottom ended up with no paint and you topped that off with coating mind me asking I’m looking for the best advice on using a rust protector

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks for asking. Anytime I use rust encapsulator, I recommend coating it with something. You can scuff and paint over it with enamel.

[@ShortBedWilly]

@@JustMoparJoe ohh ok I seee so far your the only guy with videos relating to my issues I’m working on restoring a 97 Chevy Silverado and I noticed on your video the top half stayed black and the bottom didn’t but didn’t you coat the bottom ? But thanks for replying I’ll definitely be fallowing your steps bro thanks a lot !

[@JustMoparJoe]

@@ShortBedWilly yes sir. The bottom was a rubberized undercoating. In direct sun, it will fade. I also did a raptor bedliner over rust encapsulator as well on the channel.

[@ShortBedWilly]

@@JustMoparJoe what would you recommend me the most to throw over the rust a encapsulator , what do you think is the best coating to top it off with ?

[@ShortBedWilly]

Also thanks for taking the time to reply brotha I highly appreciate you man !

@@JustMoparJoe same to you buddy I see you are dripping wet like me today water is King today.

[@bertgrau3934]

That bed liner stuff is pretty good. I seen a guy that had an International 9400 I that had a Cummins ISX 15 Liter engine. The from cover was leaking oil pretty bad. He washed it off, used grease remover then sprayed the bed liner all around where it was leaking oil, and presto it stopped the oil leak. He later replaced the front cover because it holds the gear drive for the cam shafts. You don't want those to get out of time.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Man that’s a fix! Definitely a new one on me.

[@ssudzy3]

How much did you dilute the rust encapsulator to spray it?

[@JustMoparJoe]

Not at all. It’s very thin. Shot with a 1.4 tip

[@josephshelman540]

Mr B's Mustang. Also Chris has done a beautiful job of finishing that Mustang.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Yes sir! Glad it’s done up!

[@robsdeviceunknown]

I raptor coated my whole truck in Forest green. Love it. I did that because I got tired of worrying about scratching my truck as I use it... as a TRUCK!. And, if I scratch it or have to do a repair, just takes 20 minutes and reshoot it. No sanding prep work etc.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Man that’s an idea! I bet it looks slick, and can double as a good deer stand!

[@Mopardude]

Thanks for sharing that. I guess I could come back and see you do the car.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Haha! Thanks for the support

[@AlazarAnbesaw]

Isn't it sad that you had to remove a video of a small TOOL BOX being shot might scare somebody?? Smh ... I'm afraid of what's next.

[@JustMoparJoe]

It was pretty funny. I should have backed up another 20 feet😂

[@edsmachine93]

Very nice test. And someone said to the tool box. "Well, we're just not going to let you slide on out of here, now are we"! HEHE I can't wait to try the Rust incapsulator for myself.. Thanks Joe.

[@JustMoparJoe]

😂 nice one Ed

[@taoisttiger4702]

Man i sprayed that rapter liner on my trucks aluminum diamond plate bed-rails and that stuff flaked off like 50% of the coverage after maybe a month or two. I didnt do much prep but since then i have resprayed with regular rustoleum gloss black and it has held way longer

[@JustMoparJoe]

@@taoisttiger4702 oh man. I would definitely say prep is key. If you could have scuffed the diamond plate or etched it with a chemical. KBS coatings sells an etch for bare metals to promote adhesion

[@raffikkiz]

FYI for you or anyone that sees this; Aluminum diamond plates often have a plastic film coating or some kind of sealant. You can use muriatic acid to remove it. it'll also look really shiny. but neutralize the acid and seal it immediately. Aluminum still oxidizes. But it doesn't turn red like iron and steel do.

[@jimmyford271]

It looks like the rust converter kept the metal from rusting around the pellet marks. The rust encapsulator is ment to be top coated I believe.

[@JustMoparJoe]

It says you can top coat it, but it’s not necessary. I thought about shooting a car with it. If I get tired of it being matte black, then just scuff it up, prime, and shoot it.

[@jimmyford271]

@@JustMoparJoe I sprayed chassis black over it on my Dakota.

[@kevincampbell8298]

Any of the encaps I have looked at said to paint over them.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Kevin. Check out my next video of applying the Encapsulator on the coronet.

Thanks buddy! It was a quick one. The labor will all be in the next one 🥵

[@big3fan916]

Keep um coming Joe , another good video !

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks brother. Next one will be a longggg one

[@faris9327]

thanks for the video, whats the difference between rust reformer and rust encapsulator?

[@JustMoparJoe]

I think reformer has an acid that turns the rust.

[@gregtough9055]

That looks like decent stuff in my eyes. Here in the great white north the cars are inside for 6 to 7 months and that would stand up fine

[@JustMoparJoe]

That would make a big difference. We are closer to hel.. I mean the equator 🔥

[@weezereli1996]

Gunna use this in place where the vinyl top was on my car.

[@JustMoparJoe]

That’ll be cool. I would buy the better version with if it’s in direct sun all the time

[@bogodfrey5789]

Do you have to have your frame down to bare metal to use this?

[@JustMoparJoe]

I think it’s better, but no, you can go over any well prepared surface

[@tb40ford]

Thank you so much. I just don’t understand why encapsulate rust why not remove all rust? I’ve done so many. Cars and always blasted to clean metal then epoxy primer I’m sure I’m missing something. Travis in Ky

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks for checking out the video. Blasting definitely has its advantages and drawbacks. It’s not practical for most simple shop owners and diy people (which make up the bulk of hotrodders). A high volume air compressor, adequate space, proper ventilation, protective equipment, etc. Here’s a product that gets similar results with much less effort and expensive. I actually like to encapsulate areas and then sand and epoxy prime later. I agree it’s best to remove all rust, but sometimes it’s just not possible with everyone’s ability’s or budget.

[@tb40ford]

@@JustMoparJoe you’re very welcome I’m gonna subscribe to your channel If I can’t remove rust, I’m not gonna cover it up. I said I was probably in the wrong here. Thank you for your reply buddy.

[@DuddiesAdventure]

That is a pretty cool update, That stuff held up great considering it got hit with a a junk iron projectile device!

[@JustMoparJoe]

😂 I guess I can try the .50 cal next time 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@incognito8p298]

I don't suppose the rod was the reason it wouldn't spray evenly? Perhaps that hose is meant to whip around inside the space and spray more evenly.

[@anaconda7540]

What does it do in salt is the real test

[@JustMoparJoe]

I don’t have any here 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@cjm5002]

So when I had spoken to you about how bad my pickup bed was, think that tool box from 2 years ago. Ive been tossing around a few ideas of what to do with it for years now but I think you just sold me finally on doing that encapsulator. I dont suppose you have used any of the rustoleum bed coating 'in a rattle can' with it? I really like the reliability and texture of the rustoleum but the prep on it has to be perfect bare metal in order to bond well. Any rust and its botched. Ive had it on a railing that is used daily for 6 years with zero flaking or fade.

[@JustMoparJoe]

I’m sorry I haven’t. I think I used herculiner on a car frame before and it stayed. I like the raptor kits.

[@cjm5002]

@@JustMoparJoe Yeah I will hafta buy a spray can of it and use it on the tailgate

[@wr1411]

nice seeing real world testing. I think if you had let the undercoating dry then top coated that so it had more uv protection it would have been even better. thanks for the entertainment.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Great suggestion!

[@keithcalitri840]

The coronet is looking good bud.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Keith! Lots of work left

[@JonnyMopar]

Pretty cool. Better protection than the factory had.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Jonny. I really think painting a car with it would be nice. Then prime it and paint when you’re tired of satin black

[@moparnut6286]

Yeah I like the Eastwood rust encapsulator and the internal frame coating...and I like to top coat them with valugaurd undercoating that's the brand look them up Joe Very good stuff. You can also buy the ceramic beads separate on line and turn any paint into a heat insulating coating. Lizard skin is another good product I've used with great success... It's a shame you had too remove your shoot the tool box video it was great!

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks John. Yea I didn’t want to not get monetized over it. I removed it in studio. I wonder if it’s still hidden up there somewhere

[@brianbarranco7986]

I do not recommend raptor liner. I did my whole jeep in it only had a few rusty spots that I grinded down primed and raptored it literally dissolved my whole jeep in a few years held in moisture and salt 😭. Completely ruined my jeep. The liner itself lasted a few years but literally made everything under my jeep rust out when it wasn't even bad to begin with. Don't do what I did it looked sweet but killed my ride 😢. I literally covered my whole ride and everything I raptor lined rusted 😡

[@JustMoparJoe]

@@brianbarranco7986 sorry to hear that happened. I did the blue truck 3 years back and it’s holding up great. I definitely could see that the raptor is a moisture barrier after installed, but base coat and clear coat would do the same thing if the surface under it wasn’t prepped and sealed properly. Primer is porous for sure. The rust encapsulator is much better at repelling water than primer is. I’m not sure what chemicals it has, but it’s supposed to stop the rust. I’ve used it for a sealer several times now with good luck.

[@ChurchInAshes]

Dude you should have gotten the platinum one, it's way better than the black encapsulator

[@JustMoparJoe]

I’ll try it out. Did you see how well the regular stuff has lasted?

[@TheWhiteAfghan]

Your missing the main ingredients salt

[@sevensinsvelocityshop7563]

You’re missing the point here man, rust encapsulator is for metal that’s already corroded. It encapsulates it and stops it from progressing. Looks like it did its job

[@RodknockRhett]

01:18 rubberized undercoating just makes stuff rust…

[@JustMoparJoe]

Glad I sprayed it over rust encapsulator

[@clintwoods2937]

Nice

[@JustMoparJoe]

Thanks Clint. Should have the coating video up tomorrow. I’ve got many hours in under the car now 🥵

[@minibikelife1062]

You are suppose to paint the rust encapsulator when it is being exposed to sunlight

[@JustMoparJoe]

I like to paint it regardless of it being exposed or not. But unlike the POR15, it doesn’t explicitly say it has to be painted. My favorite application of it is to use it as a rust neutralizer on areas. I have primed, painted, and even put body filler over areas where it is applied.

[@PTucker0864]

Oh yeah.....you scary with a 12 gauge. LOL Good stuff! 👍
