My trailer project took a sucker punch last night. My 42' Chaparral got blasted over the weekend with Black Diamond abrasive. It has not rained in 6 week around here. Plan was to do some lead panel seam work and fill some pin holes today and clean and epoxy tomorrow as the forecast looked good for it. Painting outside.
But last night they were calling for rain so I put it under the mother of all tarps, and to keep the dew off of it. But the rain came as a severe storm with 35 mph wind and the tarp blew off. So now I have a nice layer of flash rust all over the freshly blasted steel. Looks to come off ok where dry with an 80 grit pass, but the rougher area pits get skipped over by the paper. Maybe a hand wire brush on those spots? Afraid to try Evaporust or similar product unless advised otherwise by you guys.
Thoughts?
