Well, I'll disagree. When I was repairing the floor on my Spitfire 8 years
ago, the floor was starting to go "swissy" but with most of the steel still
there. I wire brushed it, chemically etched it to remove any corrosion, and
treated it with a zinc phosphate coating.
I then laid in three layers of fiberglass cloth with resin....
No corrosion since.
