Thanks, that was good.

I've ruined just about every metal object I own with muriatic acid.....the fumes never stop creeping around the shop and etching things........it etches them so "clean" that they rust badly.........of course you don't realize the part or tool is etched and rusted until six month later.

Just recently started using phosphate stuff.....WAY better and doesn't burn you...etc.

I never get tired of hearing that. The publisher of that magazine says the same every time she runs something of mine. Thank you!

Thanks for the info!!

It should work on these little spots huh? I tried to dig them out but it wasn't much help. Nervous to go after it with a dremel.

I guess it will. I have video of the Charger roof and other spots I worked on that should give you an idea, but still need to put it together.

Phosphoric acid will do a great job without damage to steel.

What about Rust Mort? I've used it on rust, it hardens up and turns black. I then etch-primed it. Haven't painted yet though.

I'm curious about the auto grade cold galvanizing paint. Is this something that you plan on leaving on. Do you lay some kind of primer over it once you get ready for paint?

Rust Mort is Phosphoric acid with wetting agent and Phospate added. Works very well. same stuff in Lowes just a different name.
