Naval Jelly

(1/2) > >>

I've been using http://www.multigame.com/cp.html as a basic guide to working on a metal CP. I finally got my CP sanded and it was nice and shiny.  :laugh: Then I applied Naval Jelly to eat up the remaining rust that I missed. It worked great on the rust but when I washed the jelly off, the CP was all dark and dingy like it had been held over a smoky camp fire for a few hours.  :'(

I'm doing this to get the panel in shape before I paint it. Am I overreacting to the appearance caused by the Jelly or should I resand it before painting.

I've never used Naval Jelly before so I'm not sure how it works

Thanks

It will do that on shiny metal. The container warns about leaving the Naval Jelly on too long causing discoloartion.

Thanks for the info. I didn't notice that warning before. Do you think it would cause any harm painting over this discoloration?

Not at all, if you don't do something with the metal it'll start rusting all over again.

Ummon:
You might prime it first I'm thinking as the discoloration is due to the surface being chemically scored.
