Get the gallon and a cheap plastic spray bottle from anywhere.
You can adjust the nozzle to jet for the corners and tight places and fan for the wider areas.
I see. It seems like no big problem now. I have some 8oz bottles from walMart. The gallon might have to happen later. Trying to shave off $ to so I don't go beyond budget too badly before all the basics are squared away. Hopefully the 32 ozs will do it. Appreciated.

Rust-Oleum rust converter was the easiest atm solution. It hardens smooth like nail polish. Sprayed from old spray bottle. I can see it clogging up your better spray equipment. this worked.

Next, why did I have 3 gal of water in the wall from when I first opened wall? The Crown 2 windows, maybe others have it; a seam goes down where window meets vert support. I caulked the windows closed and last night's heavy rain did not get in.

So the skinning is ready if I can only find 50 feet of 24"sheet metal.

I'm using 16 ga sheets 4 x 10 $107 new. Cut using a circular saw with non abrasive metal cutting blade. Light sanding with hand grinding disc to make safer to handle. Mine came from East Coast Metal Distributors.

a wood blade turned backwards in a skil as with the depth set properly will also work.
That's how I finish off all of my old blades.
Whatever blade you use make sure you wear safety glasses!
and secure your work and keep both hands on the saw when you can.
For the metal I would find a local sheetmetal fab shop and ask to look through there scraps if you need pieces or ask if they would sell off of there stock. Some shops use 4'a5'x10' sheets and some are set up for rolls of 150'-300' at a time.
Good luck
