I'm looking for a cheaper substitute for Naval Jelly(rust converter/protectant)
After looking into it the main chemical in most rust preventers/removers is Phosphoric acid. It turns iron into phosphated iron or rust into phosphated iron oxide which are both chemicly stable and stops rust at the surface.
I can't find large quantities of Ospho or naval Jelly around here and woul like to find a substitue.
I found some deck cleaners are about 30% phosphoric acid Does anyone know if the concentration would be high enough for treating patch panels etc?
