What if there's nothing left when the rust removal is done??

May have heard of it a long time ago, but never tried it.

Tried it today and IT WORKS!! All the loose rust was softened on one of my bumper brackes in a few hours. Leaves mud where the rust was. A little wire brushing and wiping off and the bracket is ready for some some OSPHO and POR15. This is going to save a lot of work. Pic shows the what happens to the pot after a few hours. Notice the foamy rust around the rebars. Now you've seen a REAL rust bucket.

Here are two brackets, one treated and one untreated.
