[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] "Rust Converting" Paint- Good? Bad?

[Gary Pewitt]

The products are basically phosphoric acid based.  They turn oxygen 
permeable iron oxide into impermeable iron phosphate.  They do work and 
work well.  I have used them in numerous old car and truck restorations 
and have very good results from them.  Be sure to remove grease and 
loose surface rust but don't bother to take it down to shiny steel.
