Extend is NOT naval jelly, despite what the folks at NAPA tell you. Extend is a tradename of Loctite Corp and is also marketed under the Permatex name in NAPA stores. It is a rust treatment that can be painted over. The Permatex item number is 81773 for a 16 oz. bottle. It is also available in spray cans but, after using both, I much prefer the brush on variety. It is somewhat difficult to avoid brush strokes, so if you want to avoid noticeable strokes, use a roller. It's worked good for me that way.

Here's a tech sheet in pdf format for the Loctite stuff. The Permatex stuff at NAPA is the same.

1. Scrape and wipe off dirt and oil
2. Sand with coarse paper or wirebrush (to remove loose rust) 3. Apply first coat of Extend
4. Apply second coat of Extend within 20 min
5. Protect from moisture for 24 hours before applying a topcoat. There is a note for "automotive applications" to allow an extra 24 hrs for topcoating.

It's really the same stuff as the Loctite version and the Loctite tech sheet is much more detailed and specific regarding instructions for use. I don't think it has the "automotive applications" wording though, as does the Permatex label.
