It's hard to pinpoint a definitive black-and-white viewpoint as to whether professionals do/don't use rust encapsulators. However, it does indeed seem reasonable to say: "Rust encapsulators are generally thought to be '''an acceptable solution''' for hobbyists, but are '''relied upon less frequently''' by professionals." | It's hard to pinpoint a definitive black-and-white viewpoint as to whether professionals do/don't use rust encapsulators.

*For hobbyists, it's often best to stick with a single line of paint/finish products, from bare metal to clearcoat. Using most rust products means that you're outside of the product line for the rest of the finish. So, it may be physically incompatible (resulting in a poor paint job), or it may void the product warranty. | *For hobbyists, it's often best to stick with a single line of paint/finish products, from bare metal to clearcoat.
