Howdy,
Read a few methods from other posts, but nothing too fancy.
I live on the coast and have a heck of a time trying to get my stuff primed before it flash rusts. So I've been etching with phosphoric acid but its a pain in the butt to clean off the dried residue by sanding or wire wheeling before I lay down the primer.
The other way I haven't tried yet is to wipe off the excess with a towel before it dries.
Any advice on diluting it before hand, or maybe neutralizing it afterward? Any tips on the application part; spray, brush, wipe off, etc.?
I've sprayed a baking soda solution on but that was just as messy.
