Whats in rust mort :Re: Body work

["Owen Minor" <renarac@domain.elided>]

It contains phosphoric acid. In concentrated ammounts, phosphoric acid will
continue to corrode metal if its wet (definition of an acid). If you use a
more powerful version, like Jesco or, to a lesser degree naval jelly, it
should be rinsed down with lots of water. Those aren't in a paint base that
will seal out moisture.
