Porter’s Instant Rust Clear Sealer is designed for use when protection, sealing or isolation is required on interior or exterior surfaces that have been finished with Porter’s Liquid Iron & Instant Rust. Porter’s Liquid Iron & Instant Rust is an authentic rusted finish and on exterior surfaces this finish will continue to rust after initial application so be mindful that rust stains (caused by run-off) may appear on adjacent surfaces. To prevent these stains we recommend finishing with Porter’s Instant Rust Clear Sealer. However, if isolation is not required, Porter’s Liquid Iron & Instant Rust should be left to weather and age.
