    Rusty Metal Primer does contain fish oil, this soaks into the rust and is what halts it. This is why it also cures to darn slowly. Even if it's summer time, I'll let the stuff cure for 4 to 5 days. It should be absolutely rock hard and should not be soft at all when scratched with the thumb nail...

    Great job! When that Behr fully cures after a month or so, you will find it is every bit as hard and durable as CARC. In fact somebody here mentioned that the BEHR flat is very similar to the new water based CARC. It's about as non toxic as paint can get, too.
