Like Neil Young used to sing Rust never sleeps the best you can do is soak it The best you can with a rust inhibitor like ospho And seal it up with epoxy primer.

So are you saying that you open up all the seams, treat them, then weld them up? Or, are you treating the visible rust, then epoxy?

I have a Fluid Film rustproofing gun, I just spray into the seams - other than separating the metal (which I doubt anybody would do), forcing it in with the spray gun is what I have done. What are you spraying? I am reluctant to spray a phosphoric acid product in there because it will cause problems with the paint if the residue is not cleaned off.

OK, I thought you were just using the gun for spraying something else. I use Fluid Film on my plow truck. I am thinking more in terms of prepping for paint, which obviously, FF would not be suitable.
I was curious about this topic after seeing some high dollar restorations that started out rusty and were not completely dissasembled so they undoubtedly have rust hiding in the seams.

Some big $$$ jobs get dipped, and E-coated...

3m Rust Fighter works well too. Creeps in like fluid film does.
