The stuff works great but has some limitations. IF you are just talking about your basic rusty metal great. If your metal has gone on to be spalling, flaking or having surface bubbles of corrosion you need to make sure you get all that off before applying the converter products. If you don't you will be wasting your effort because if the converter dose not get all the way to base metal the rusting will start right up again.

I'm not sure I ever expected to say this, but I am going to take Adrian's advice and try wire brush and Fertan, as I'm not too keen to work with unfamiliar power tools while wedged upside down in a gas locker. I've ordered some (and some Owaltrol Oil as well today). It won't get done til Easter, but I'll try and remember to report back. I find maintenance logs as interesting as trip reports. -- Nigel Stanley [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
