Aluminum will not fare well in the oxalic acid. Better to do those parts in evaporust, which will still damage them long-term, just...less.

Fantastic! Great work and carpentry! Thanks for posting!
Don't forget ta treat the inside of the frame now that ya have it prepped. Just a coat of 50:50 Linseed oil and denatured alcohol will do wonders. Especially if your living near the salt water.
Of course you know this...

Another one:
After OA but before any rubbing.

It will typically 'lift' any paint that has rust underneath it. So, on a section that has rust, but otherwise intact paint, it will not terribly effect the paint. If the paint is already lifting, it's probably going to come off.

Great, thanks for the confirmation. I think I'll go this route instead of brushing/scraping the rust off bit by bit, there's evidence of some light rust in the stays so might as well treat the whole frame.
