Ok, We had a warm day so I applied first coat. I was a little concerned because I had very little white residue from the rustblast. The metal had very little surface rust, and had been wire brushed with a grinder, I kept it wet for 30 min instead of just 10 like the instructions said, I then washed it very good with fresh water. When I applied the first coat several 1/8 spots came thru the coatings, as if it didn't adhere in this area. They seemed to cover with the second coat, what caused these spots so I can avoid them in the future? Also how well does the rustblast have to be washed off? I have a frame in my basement that needs coatings but I can't move outside. Can we use a squirt bottle with fresh water?
Last ? I coated the rear diff, am I going to have problems when I try and remove the cover and the bolts that hold it on? Any ideas of what can be done now? Maybe a razor blade to go around the edge?
The product looks awesome, I am very pleased with the way it came out.

Without seeing the project, it sounds as though there was some sort of contaminant (oil, grease, silicone, etc) on the surface. Did you wash the surface with AquaKlean or some type of water-based cleaner first before using the RustBlast?
Using the squirt bottle of water is fine, the water just neutralizes the acid in the RustBlast.
You shouldn't have any problem removing those bolts, as you should be able to get enough torque on those bolt heads. Now removing a flat head or phillips screw may be more difficult.
