The Jotun/Epoxy 1:1 argument settled, from the horses mouth:
Hi Dave
Thanks for contacting me Dave I am very happy for you cut and paste this reply for me and put this one to bed.
Rustbuster can state without any reservation at all that our Epoxy EM 121 Epoxy Mastic or any of our other products are not manufactured by Jotun Paints.
To clarify it is not the same as Jotun Smart pack or Jotun Jotamastic. The product is packaged and produced by Rustbuster Ltd at our Spalding facilities using Epoxy Resins formulated specifically for Rustbuster Ltd. We also supply in twelve colours, Jotun Smart Pack is not available in twelve colours. The hardener comp B is a totally different colour and viscosity to the Jotun product with faster curing times. Using the same thinners is common in the coatings industry paint manufacturers do not refine their own thinners. Even the largest paint manufacturers do not actually manufacture all of their paint lines. Epoxy Mastic is a generic term used in the coatings industry for a high build, high solids surface tolerant epoxy. So yes basically the poster is talking rubbish and maybe even liable. The products others are using are not the same as the product you have used to great success.
Rustbuster also formulates all of its branded chemical products, our products are unique and packaged in small containers specifically for the DIY and restoration market, if any of the forum users want to purchase in large trade packs or bulk orders of any of our products I'd be happy to offer them a trade discount. Rustbuster are qualified rust prevention consultants and consultant engineers we have level 3 Icorr Corrosion inspection status, and are a member of Icorr, we manufacture to an independently audited Iso 9001 quality assured system. We also work with major vehicle manufacturers on this basis recently supplying a major UK based vehicle manufacturer with products and advice on our Rustbuster Weld-Thru primer for testing at their Weld and Corrosion testing facilities at Cranfield.
When you buy a Rustbuster product you get the benefit of all of this experience with every tin, we personally answer all of our email enquiries. Something you probably won't get buying a marine paint off Ebay. We are a Micro manufacturer when compared to Jotun but we are small enough to care, you also keep British folk in employment.
Glad you like the products Dave, all the best with the Mini restoration.

Ian Allen

It's good to see a manf. Of a product stand up and say 'Im /we are here ...... ' more power to your elbow , and by being british it gets a thumbs up,from me .
I've not had occasion to use anything joton ECT related ... But if you were to put your email up as a 'I'm here for advice and any problems ' .... That would ease the mind of a few people with regard to your product .
