Could this be used to cover several rust spots on a dishwasher rack? Any idea how to calculate how much I would need?

Yes, Sugru should work. Sugru comes in small packets, about size of saccharin sugar packets. There are three packets and you can get appropriate color. It feels and molds like play dough. When packet is opened it has to be used right away since it cures and sets in 24 hrs. When dry it feels like rubber and it sticks but must be left to cure. My daughter fixed shelf in her dishwasher and hot water does not disturb it.

Yes, it will. But be very careful. It's almost the same as Lime Away. Only Lime away won't take off rust.

If you are just looking to cover/fill those holes you may actually be fine with just one can. 2 cans if you really want to line the entire inside of the tank. Being that they are pin holes as you say, you won't need much in my opinion. Be sure to at least cover the pin holes from the outside (tape should suffice) to allow red kote to settle into the holes and then cure. Prep work is dependent on the condition of the tank. If it is rusted or beginning to rust I would suggest cleaning it out with any of the many methods to clean out rust. POR15, tank prep kits, Electrolysis, etc. I personally use and have great rust removal results on motorcycle tanks with just apple cider vinegar. Good luck!

My guess that it would rust eventually especially around the welds. The metal is coated but I do not think it would hold up to the constant splashing of water in a kitchen sink.

I have used this product on various projects. To get the best results, you should remove any excess material (loose and flaking rust, peeling paint, etc.). You can just apply it to any rusty spot and help interrupt the rust cycle. If you have too much material over the base/core rusty metal, it may not react to halt the on going rusting action.

I agree with the previous responder. I would be careful using something that aggressive on the finish. Have had great results with Bar Keepers helper when nothing else worked...particularly around rust.

Definitely, if you can find sheets large enough to cover the entire side with one piece. I would sand the side smooth and give it a coat of primer so it lays smooth and wont rust below (you must apply with water. Raw metal and water....not so good.) Our DWasher looks so good and is a perfect match for the SS finish on the frig. Once in place, weight all the edges or clamp it for about 12 hours to ensure a perfect job that will last.

I don't think so. I used it on a gas tank on my motorcycle and it only took off the surface rust but not the think stuff. I soaked it for two days but no luck. Hope this helps you.

I don't think this is the product you want for that application. I would go with an outdoor wood coating such as spar varnish, there are a few sold here but here is one: Rust-Oleum 207008 Marine Spar Varnish 1-Quart

My dish drainer has not rusted and I see no signs that it will. I honestly don't know the dimensions, but it fits perfectly on my sideboard. Of all the dish drainer things I have tried this is by far the best. It actually drains and is very low maintenance. A good vaiue price wise!

I am not sure ..depends on surface. I used it on underside of my truck rocker panel s and inside of door ridge where it isn't seen. I then painted right over it with spray bed liner paint. It did stop the rust where it soaked in good. I like the results so far.

I generally use this for my vehicles, specifically the under side, where rust begins developing. I would estimate 2 cans would be enough to spray the under side of an entire mid size vehicle. It seems to work very well.

There is a special product for dishwasher repair. Can't remember name; but, do a search for dishwasher rack repair at Amazon or on the internet. I personally would not use this particular product for inside diswasher. If you are doing like a porcelain sink or counter, works well; but, careful if you have off white...choose the bone color or mix the white with bone to get shade you desire.

I have only used it on rust deposits on the surface of our fiberglass bathtub & kitchen sink. I would give it a try in a very small area to see how it worked. That way you can use a touch up paint to cover the area.

Yes, this is what we use it for in our shop! It stops rust from spreading any further and can be painted, an alternative to cutting out.

If it is the outside, I would think it would be fine, but if it is the inside, not so sure, since it is in contact with water on a regular basis. I would try a couple coats of primer and a couple coats of rustoleum. It is worth a try.

I'll be honest with you. I have never tried it but I'm sure it will work. All its doing is neutralizing the rust so it can stop spreading.
