How well does this item prevent flash rust?

As far as I know it doesn't prevent rust, just gets rid of it which it does very well.

Same as other responses here. I used it as fuel tank treatment to remove rust and it worked well. Have kept it full of fuel since, so no flash rusting has occurred. I would use another product to prevent it from rusting again in the future, if necessary. Good luck.

I do not have an answer for future prevention of flash rust, except I don't believe it will work for future flash rust. For future prevention, I always wipe mineral oil on then wipe it off with a cloth.

I don't think the product is intended as a rust preventative. It's a rust remover. That said, I've used it to remove rust from motorcycle fuel tanks and have had no immediate return of rust.

I have been using mine for 2 years at pool side for wet towels, and inside for delicate clothes and have not had a problem with rust.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

I don't know if it will rust. I have only had it for less than one year, and it has worked fine so far, and no visible signs of rust of discoloring.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

You shouldn't experience any rust issues indoors. The finish is enough to protect it from rust for many, many years.

I have haven't had much trouble with rust; just a bit on the sides of the rake and it didn't affect operation at all

I haven't used it in a while so I don't really remember but I think as long as it is open it will not interfere with the flash.

I've not had problems with rusting and Have had one of my three expandable shelves almost four years; but I use mine as extra shelving for clean dishes so the shelves are not exposed to dampness.

I used it on both rusted areas and non-rusted and it worked well, but it was amazing on rust. Covered the rust and really protects well. I actually painted under a trailer and through mud and rain it holds up great.

Lol I've only used this one a few times at this point, I forget I have it most of the time. But no rust yet :D

I have not had any trouble with rust at all. I have been so happy with this product - I tried a few others but this one is the easiest to clean and manage

I think any of them will eventually rust, at least the ones I have used. These ones I just installed about a month ago and so far so good. I think the stuff that is on them that makes your hand turn a little black is also a protectant because it felt kind of oily. They do seem a little stronger than the ones that I previousle bought at lowes

I carried mine daily for about a year. It did not have any rust at all. But, it was used mainly indoors in an office environment (I`m a service tech for optical equipment). I have since sold it for a Swisstool Spirit, which I suspect will be even more rust resistant due to it's polishing.

I have had no problems with rust at all. In fact the set has held up very well.

I have only owned this for a couple of months, but I see no signs of rust. My laundry area is a relatively sunless and easily dampish kind of environment so I think if rust was going to occur, it would. I also see no signs of the finish cracking or wearing and I expect it to continue to hold up well with a lot of use.
