I've used the stuff quite a bit and the one thing I have to say is to use a
good mask, the ones with the replaceable cartridges. A couple of whiffs of
this stuff and you'll get a killer headache use it in confined quarters
(inside a garage) and you'll get pretty sick, don't know about the long term
health effects but the immediate ones are bad. This is the simples of all
rust killers, Ospho is another but everyone seems to have their own way of
using it, and POR 15 is the favorite and seems to be one of the best but
paint doesn't stick to it very well unless you use their primer over it or
sand it some.

I use a Permatex spray on called  Extend.
It catalyzes the rust, turning it black, but stopping
it in it's tracks. Sand it (get rid of the loose stuff
you don't have to get it all) Then spray it.
It turns black (where rust was) ands seals the surface.
works great!

boards the black was rust. Best part is you are removing
minimal metal as you don't have to grind out the rusty
metal work,.
