I was just wondering, since the problem is mainly rust, would this be a good candidate for the electrolysis rust removal?

Not sure if a person would end up with a worse case of “Swiss cheese” using electrolysis
vs. sandblasting or not. I sandblasted the inside of the tank today then scrubbed
it the best I could with little wire brushes and more phosphoric acid.
The inside of the cover I didn’t sandblast, as I thought that would be the most
likely to “warp”, but rather used a drill with wire wheel and
acid. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll finish up any body work on it, then solder the lid
back on the tank. Guess I’ll just tape all the pin holes and seal it with Red Coat
when it arrives. Hopefully the Red Coat doesn’t cause problems with the paint lifting
off the pin holes.
