Do you neutralize the Rust-Mort in some way after or just prime right over it?
Keep it wet until the rust is gone/converted, then rinse.

Thanks, I ordered some.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Rust mort requires a water rinse to stop the reaction then dry it so flash rust doesn't start. Needs primed pretty quick after.

Or so the data sheet says

There's one in the next town but I dislike the asshole running it.

My normal distributor is in Worcester, somehow their prices are close to those at coast airbrush-I normally go there but didn't feel like driving-I've got a bunch of welding and what not before I need it, anyway.

I haven't figured out how I'll rinse it yet.

The cab will be suspended in the air by my motor crane and I'll be laying underneath it working overhead.

I don't have any water in that building either.

Get a cheap garden sprayer. Pump it up and git er done.

It's important to remove all the rust-mort. Primer won't stick to the residue.

How does this stuff rate?  It's my plan b in case I can't get Rust Mort.

Plan c is wire it to bare metal and prime.

I don't want to have to get down to plan c

Reporting in.

I have the cab hanging and used a wire brush to scrub the underside of the cab. The rust wasn't very thick.

So far I've brushed on two coats of rust mort. It takes a long time to dry between coats. 45 minutes  or so. The temp is 65°+

It's not turning black at all. Either something is wrong or it takes a while to blacken. The sheet says leave it cure for 24hrs then wipe down with a wet rag.

How would I know?  I'm still waiting for the second coat to dry. It's been about 40 min. Looks the same now as when I started. Except it's wet.

I never let it dry....always kept it wet the whole time..

Killing cancer is a tough proposition, and never quick.
