Re: derusting & repainting

Yes tim that waxoyl gun sounds fine ' to prep before paint id use a scotch cloth and some degreasorand wipe with dry cloth immediately ' even after using jenolite i prefer to remove even the dead rust as a precaution ' you could use a heat on area to be primed too if air is damp
