Will this stuff get into the spaces between two rusted beams and convert that rust too? There is a shuttle that exactly fits my needs except the beams under the floor and the frame members in the body are pretty damned rusty. I am willing to remove the floor and interior walls to sand-blast most of the rust off the frame and the beams. However, I am very concerned that the rust between the frame and the exterior skin, as well as the rust between the transverse beams and the main, longitudinal beams would continue to fester.
