Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Before I found this forum I made the mistake of purchasing and using some of Eastwood's gel rust dissolver. Now I know better however, I had stuck it in a p.o.s metal cabinet to eventually get rid of it. Three days ago I went into my work bay which I am restoring a 52 chevy pickup and was assaulted by a chemical stink and saw that half of the shiny sanded body had flash rusted basically over night. I opened the cabinet and a small split had developed in the rust dissolver jug. I removed the cabinet and all of the other containers from the shop and ran fans to air out the shop. I had a can of SPI medium urethane reducer in the same cabinet and it looks like it has been left outside for a year it is so rusted. I hit a few spots on the body with a red scotch brite pad and wiped it down with Dawn/water to see what would happen. Last night I checked again and it is spreading across the cab and even some of my body dollies have an angry dark brown patina. Did vapors or residue from this evil Eastwood concoction settle on everything??? I'm in Southern California so it's not exactly humid and in the four years I have been working on the truck I have yet to see anything like this. What is the best course of action and should I pick up a dehuimidifier to keep this from happening.
Thanks.
