About the Company

STA-BIL ® Rust Stopper

STA-BIL has been around for a long time, since 1958!  With deep roots in the automotive and recreation worlds, STA-BIL has been solving common engine problems for a long time. While they offer a wide range of products today, they maintain their roots of preventing and repairing the things that keep it going every day.  

What Does It Do?

STA-BIL ® Rust Stopper 

STA-BIL ® Rust Stopper works in several ways

–       It is a corrosion inhibitor, protecting metal surfaces from harmful environmental conditions.

–       Lubricant to prevent metal parts from sticking 

–       Penetrates for additional protection 

–       Water-Resistant Formula for long-lasting protection from moisture and humidity

–       Works on both interior and exterior surfaces

–       When applied, STA-BIL Rust Stopper stops existing rust immediately

–       While Rust Stopper can help remove existing rust, Rust Stopper is most effective when used as a part of routine maintenance.

How to Apply

STA-BIL ® Rust Stopper

 STA-BIL Rust Stopper is easy to apply. Packaged in an aerosol can, Rust Stopper is wildly simple to apply. I start by gently wiping the surface to remove any dust and debris. If you’re in a hard-to-reach place, the attached straw on the can is extra handy to get into tough spots. Apply a light spray to the surface and allow it to penetrate. 

Can be applied to any metal surfaces on your outdoor power equipment, snowblowers, trailers, locks, and more! As well, I LOVE to apply STA-BIL’s Rust Stopper on my woodworking equipment too! It’s a super versatile product that you’ll find you reach for often! The only small change I make in the application here, is I wipe any excess product off the tool prior to use as it contacts work material. 

Wrap Up

Maintaining your equipment is the best way to preserve your investments. Whether it’s your lawn equipment, hinges on gates and fences, or virtually any metal surface, rust is a common and pesky problem. Especially with how quickly rust can form, staying in front of the problem by prevention is much easier than trying to repair it once it exists. 

 STA-BIL® Rust Stopper is a product I have found handy for many years. Each bottle lasts quite some time as a little goes a long way. When used consistently Rust Stopper is wildly effective, quick to apply,  and incredibly cost-effective. Without a doubt, it’s been a brilliant addition to my maintenance routine!
