Rust converting primers????
Anyone using a RC primer? I'm reading all sorts of claims. It seems everyone has climbed on board and making their own version.
Just wondweing about the claims. Thanks.

Sorry I have used most of them and sadly none work over the long term. Most converters try to convert rust to manganese. Best to sandblast and be done with it.

Just get rid of the rust completely. Covering it up or chemically treating it doesn't solve the problem.

That works externaly. Whai I need is a way to stop rust inside steel pontoons. What solutions are there where a person can't crawl or stand to sandblast? It does little good to have a shiny hull if it's "ticking" away from the inside?

Classic car guys swear by POR15 (pour over rust).
