is this good for treating rust on an ash tree?

It contains a recommended insecticide for controlling the emerald ash borer.

No. Rust is caused by a fungus. This product contains imidacloprid which is a systemic insecticide, absorbed through the ground or the surface of the plant. It has no activity against fungi, to my knowledge. Works great against pine bark beetle and spruce scale , both major evergreen killers in my part of the country.

It might work if you are trying to remove a small rust stain from a bobby pin or bbs. My recommendation is do not let acid sit very long on the vinyl. I purchased it to use in a plaster pool and it worked well.

I have not personally tried this but why not experiment. It cannot hurt. Just soak it overnight and see what happens. I have used it on brick and refrigerators that have accumulated rust and it worked wonders. Also in utility sinks where rust appeared. I hope this helps.

I just sent an answer to your question. This is probable not strong enough to use on a tree. I ordered the systemic Bayer product that was specifically for trees and shrubs.

Yes. Just make sure that you rinse it off and dry it when you're done. The water will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust if you leave it wet outside of the water.

Not rusted, since that is a function of iron-based products, but will develop a patina. I am choosing not to clean and polish my bowl, but allow it to darken and basically turn a dark brown to black with the exposure to air, heat, ashes, and tar in the wood i am burning. I want to fool the cooper thieves out there, too.

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.

Need to clean the rust off first maybe with some rust elimnator. But yes it works great!

It might help but that is not what it is made for. But we recommend Rust Eraser, you can get it at John Deere Landscaping it is for fertilizer stains.

If there is a lot of rust, first try to dissolve the rust with CLR. Then use the polishing creme. I don't think the polishing creme would take off serious rust. It will, however, polish metals to a beautiful luster.

I'm not sure I understand your question, your spelling confuses me. What I use the sulfur for is to mix with water and spray it on apple trees, for control of powdery mildew a disease that gets on apple trees.

It can but not recommended because it can burn the folage depending on the tree type. You need to be clear what kind of problem you are trying to handle. Contact me at 928-343-2729 and I can help you determine if this is really what you need to be considering. I am a licensed chemical supplier. Thanks, Rick

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.

Have no idea. I purchased it to treat high levels of rust in my irrigation well and it does that very well.

I wouldn't use it to cover that, since rust will spread. It's to cover parts so they don't get heated up.

Agree with Robert. It is being used on a log splitter, the metal one rusted.

According to the label it does kill the Emerald Ash Borer. This is a systemic product and should be applied BEFORE the ash borer makes an appearance. I haven't used this product on my ash trees, I use a different product each spring for the borer. I have had good luck with this product over the last 2 years now on my hackberry trees and plan to keep using it. I'll continue to treat my ash trees the way I have in the past just because of product cost (I have a lot of ash trees).
