So while running errands yesterday I stopped at the hardware store to look
for rust converter.  They had two different brands of brush on converter.
They both seem to work the same by converting the iron oxide into iron
phosphate, a relatively inert chemical.  One container specifically stated
that it was not recommended for exterior automotive sheet metal.  They both
stated that it can cause rust if applied to non rusted metal.  Is this
really a good idea to use?  Does anyone have experience with using rust
converter and not using rust converter on seams for a comparison?
