Alpha Professional Tools® presents an amazing gel - type rust stain remover (RSR - 2000). It's a game - changer for quickly getting rid of common rust stains on natural stone, concrete, brick, terra cotta, Mexican tile, and other hard porous surfaces. This pre - mixed gel comes in 14 - ounce tubes and 4 - ounce trial - size bottles, making it super convenient. The RSR - 2000 is specially formulated to work extremely fast. Once it touches rust, it starts working right away and can usually remove a rust stain in 5 minutes or less. Professional contractors, monumentalists, tile contractors, and fabricators will love it because it's much quicker than most poultices and so much easier to use. It's also a non - hazardous chemical, safe for you and the environment. Since it's a spreadable gel, you can cover large areas in no time. You can use it on floors, countertops, vertical surfaces, and exterior areas. If you have rust stains, RSR - 2000 is the perfect solution. Features include removing common rust stains from various surfaces, being in an easy - to - use gel form, working fast, being non - hazardous, having multiple application areas, and being available in different sizes. A 14 - oz tube can cover approximately 4 sqft. FAQs address common concerns like what to do if it doesn't work (check for wax or non - rust stains), using it on walls (yes, it can be used), leaving it on overnight (not recommended, may cause purple residue), differences from Alpha® Rust Poultice (gel vs powder, faster removal time), possible etching on marble, its effectiveness on all stones (works on most natural stones), and using it on wet stone (not allowed). Helpful hints suggest wearing safety equipment, working in a well - ventilated area, and doing a demo for customers. Part numbers are RSR - 400G (14 oz tube) and RSR - 040G (1.4 oz bottle).
Using RSR - 2000 is easy. First, make sure the surface is completely dry. You can't use it on wet stone. Then, apply the gel from the tube or bottle directly to the rust - stained area. Since it's a spreadable gel, it's simple to cover the stain. Wait for about 5 - 10 minutes, and in most cases, the rust stain will be gone. When applying and removing RSR - 2000, always wear personal safety equipment and do the job in a well - ventilated area. If you're using it on marble, be aware that an etched spot may appear due to the chemical reaction, and you may need to re - polish the area. Also, this product won't remove dyed color in the stone caused by aging. If you apply RSR - 2000 and nothing happens, check if the stone was waxed. If so, remove the wax first. If the gel doesn't turn purple, it may not be a rust stain, and you can try one of the other Alpha® poultices. Don't leave RSR - 2000 on the stone overnight as it may leave a purple residue. If that happens, use hydrogen peroxide liquid on a towel to remove the stain. And remember, it's a good idea to do a demo for your customers to make sure they're happy with the results.
