Has anyone considered making a paste with oxalic acid dust and molasses and "painting" it on rust spots on a frame that needs a little tlc? I have a frame with some nasty chain slap, but don't want to dismantle the whole thing for an oxalic bath. Worst case, a chemical combo would make a weapon of mass destruction (not likely, but think ammonia and bleach). Best case, I'd be able to remove rust only in a small selected area. Any thoughts?
