Kyle, I just remembered (hey, it happens!!) phosphoric
acid NEEDS RUST! The protective product is iron
phosphate, I believe. If you have no iron oxide to
work with the acid can't work properly. You don't
want flaky layers but you do need a light layer.
I realize it's to late for this job but there's always
next time.
Dave
