Eastwood's also makes a good etching/sealing process I used on my
Spitfire with good success. As a temporary measure, you can try pouring
in some kerosene, dropping in a length of chain, and sloshing it around
to break out the rust.
In all cases, please be careful. It's OK when listers leave just
because they're mad, but not OK when they're dead.
