[Shop-talk] Marine Clean substitute/replacement?

[Tim]

It is my understanding that, if the surface to be rust proofed is all rusty (no clean metal) then you should not need to use a metal etching acid as the rusty surface has enough tooth for the POR15 to grab onto--I have experimented with this on a bent part not usable, and this seems to be the case. You would want to remove any lose rust to make sure it doesn't chip off at a later time. The Marine Clean would be useful for any painting process to remove any and all oil, etc as I am pretty sure not much would stick, in the long term, to a surface not cleaned of oils, etc. 

At least, this has been my experience as I learn about new processes.

Sorry I can't help, Tim.  But I wonder if anyone else sees the irony in a
product called "Paint Over Rust" that requires two other special preparation
chemicals.
