Re: metal etching solution vs turco
Metal etching solution and Turco. Turco is a rust converter which is mainly phosphoric acid. Metal etching solution could be mainly hydrochloric acid or could be nitric.
Re: metal etching solution vs turco
which is better for metal surface preparation prior to application of epoxy primer?
Re: metal etching solution vs turco
Well, if you're painting metal --
1. Use a rust converter first. Make sure to wash off any residue prior to painting on.
-- for rust converters, if you're in a rush, there's a brand that works in just minutes. The traditional rust converters you see in the market are kinda slow. I remember our metal workers in our factory before leaving metal bars soaked in rust converter (overnight?).
2. For metal primer, in case you want a long-lasting coat, I suggest that you go for an epoxy-based primer -- a lot better in preventing rust.
Hope my insight helped.

1. For repainting, it's advisable that you remove the previous coating first. However there will be some other considerations:
- If the previous coat is epoxy-based and it's still adhering properly, you can paint over it directly.
- Remove loose rust scales, a rust converter can do this.
2. For steel, I would recommend that you use an epoxy primer for painting. I'll recommend a brand used on marine vessels. You can try looking for the Cord brand.

If you're in the metro area, the brand I know of is in Handyman. It's called Turbo.
