rust removal
#2
Wire brush it and knock the scale rust off and either use the chassis saver process or the por-15 process. Both can be applied directly over rust but they also recommend using the etch agents and what not to insure that no rust will come back.

I believe it is an acid so I suggest rinsing well with soap and water once completed. I think the warning is to paint it before it rusts again. Rust converters work well too. Go easy with it as I think it was developed for working on ships.

I've been using EvapoRust which works really well. I follow up with a galvanizing "Fast Etch" from Eastwood which prevent the flash rusting until you paint it. The EvapoRust can be reused but with each use it's potency is diminished. I think EvapoRust even comes in a gel formula as well which would work better on vertical surfaces. It's important to thoroughly degrease first because EvapoRust won't cut through the grease.

I tried the Evaporust with some success but I think the electrolysis with graphite plates works much better and is much cheaper. I'm using a large rectangular bin I got from HF (black/yellow) that I can do fairly large parts in. I'm fitting 4/5's of a 15" wheel in it. The graphite prevents the red slime from developing. Use a degreaser like OilEater instead of diesel or gas. You can spray it on like Windex and wipe/rinse it off.
