I realize this is an old thread but a friend of mine was telling me about the SPI products and I found the forum.
I am in the same shape as the op after being away from paint and body for close to 15 years or better let the local paint store sell me some Rust Mort. The car I am working on was paint cracked from one side to the other with lots of small rust tracking once all the paint was stripped to bare metal. Sprayed the car down with the rm and let it sit for a couple of days while I tried to research the rm. Saw lots of threads on other forums talking about adhesion issues so decided to sand it back off. Never did wash it off but sanded the entire car back down with 80 grit and shot it with an epoxy primer.
Fast forward to this evening and was reading a lot of the threads here about rust converters and everyone saying that they needed to be reapplied if they had dried and then washed to activate them and get rid of the chemicals but I noticed in this thread specifically mentioned the rm that it could be sanded off with 80.
Am I setting myself up for issues now and do I need to restrip the car, spray the converter on it, wash it and then re-primer it with epoxy or should I be good to go?
