Naval jelly is a rust REMOVER. not a rust converter like rust mort/extend/etc. a rusty rurface properly coated with extend will keep rust from forming again. naval jelly doesnt do that. as far as rinsing it off, i just wipe with a very lightly damp rag, or even a rag damp with thinner. . no need to "rinse" it with water. chris In a message dated 3/1/05 1:51:06 PM Eastern Standard Time, THX0001@AOL.COM writes:
