Rust Converter Study

I ran across this in another forum. I thought some folks here would find this interesting or handy. Sounds like Rustoleum Rust Reformer could be pretty useful on the underside of a lot of our trucks.

"Starting in the summer of 2010 Materials Conservator Jason Church and Materials Conservation Intern Anna Muto began a study comparing commercially available rust converters. A rust converter is a chemical treatment that turns iron oxide into a more stable form such as iron tannate. The advantage of a rust converter is the treatment is less invasive and the only surface treatment needed is a cleaning of loose rust and soiling generally with a wire brush."
