Assume I'm in a place where I can't use my sandblaster.
I need to get into the tight places of a cluster to remove surface
rust.
I can get pretty deep in the cluster with emery cloth, but there is
the last 1/8".


There are rust converter chemicals on the market. Is it OK for me to
use
a rust converter prior to priming or am I fooling myself? - Mike


get a finer grade of *blasting media.. I can't see how you could get
any better results any other way.

I think he meant that he was in a location i.e. hanger where
sandblasting was forbidden.

That now does make sense but if the rust is slight there are small,
portable sandblasters that would work using the smallest compressors..
