I went with a slightly different rout with my bee. Since I had it balsted (and it rained directly after that) I needed some quick protection for the metal. I sprayed the Must for Rust on it. This nuetralizes existing rust and leaves a very thin coat of protectant on the metal. This then will be sprayed over with an epoxy primer and since it is water based it is non toxic and I can get it in all the tine crevices and it does not have to be neutralized. Good stuff. Here a shot of the application before drying.
