[Vwdiesel] rust question

[Gary, Orlando]

Could be that you dipped your brush from the work surface into the can.
The rust from the work surface could have contaminated the entire can,
causing the chemical reaction that makes the stuff work in the first
place. This stuff needs to be poured into a smaller container to work
from so that the entire can doesn't get contaminated.
