Try GOOGLE'ing "NAVAL JELLY" for interesting reading. My Grandfather, Father & Uncle all swore by the stuff. Your thread prompted me to learn more about it. The Jelly we always used was a rub-on, then hose-off exercise. Easy, Complete, and NEVER has rust through the paint after use. (I haven't read the MSDS on it so don't know the environmental impact):idea:

Well this is an old thread... But I'm going after rust on my 5 ton. Hate rust!!:-x
I have always use Ospho image.jpg with good results. It just does not seem to work well if the surface is vertical. I went looking for naval jelly that I have used in the past. The only one I found locally is made by Loctite. Pure garbage! I have mouth wash with more kick. It would not touch rust I applied it to. (Dirt and grease free) It looked the same as the old stuff but that's it. I even left it overnight. No luck. image.jpg

I use Evapo-rust for small parts. This stuff works very well. I use it on parts I can submerge. (Nuts and bolts etc..) They come out looking new. image.jpg


I tried this as well. It did convert the rust. The only thing is it dries like Elmers glue. So it will chip off with your fingernail and can not be used with latex or zinc. (Not Good for an undercoat)image.jpg

So with all this. What are you guys using to get into the nooks and crannies? I have found if there is any unprimed rust the Behr paint will show it. (Tan truck)
Thanks

Is there a good material to use to prevent rust developing in the channeling, floorboards, & undercarriage? I just bought an M38A1 in very good condition, rust-wise. Since I live in NJ, where they use copious amounts of salt in the winter and they say the salt can take out a jeep undercarriage in a couple of seasons, I want to prevent it with a good undercarriage dubbing. I don't intend to use it in sloppy conditions, but it'll still be outdoors a lot. Any suggestions from the vets for a fng?? Many thanks!
You can put ospho in a pump sprayer and get the inside of your doors and frame rails (hard to reach areas) I would rather spend a few bucks up front to keep the rust demon at bay, then fight him when he sinks his teeth in your prized mv.

I also use OSPHO. I get as much rust off with a wire brush of one sort or another first. For small parts I'll submerge them in it. For big parts I'll use a brush and paint it on.

Henkel adhesives is the one we used. Some of the heavy areas need a little finesse, but overall worked good. To tell you the truth I had only used this brand, maybe the completion has a better brand---Idk?
