    Small rust on LP Steel 80s

    the think about rust is you have to remove it or it will keep rusting.. if there is a little bit left it will continue too rust.. sand it by hand depends on the area affected how deep ect if there is rust on the out side what would the inside look like... is it a small area rusted through ect..
