Clean the steel surface by a stiff wire brush to remove loosely held rust particles/scales.
Apply RUSTICIDE with cotton waste swab as per specification.
Mix 1kg PLOYALK FIXOPRIME with 1 to 1.25kg fresh cement to form lump free consistent slurry using a mechanical mixer.
Apply this slurry to the steel surface using a brush, taking care to avoid pinholes.
