Today I am puttering around the shop and working on my main rudder and contemplating the many hours and many dollars ahead and something occured to me. I have done a lot of rust removal by all different methods however for smaller parts I soak in evapo rust which is a fine harbor freight product that actually does the job.
in my time though I have never done rust removal on stainless parts that I know on the ocean will get oxygenation but not outright rust quickly. My curiosity to this is does anyone know if chemical treatments on a product like evaporust etc will mess with the stainless properties of the metal and cause it to rust easier in the future?
