Is rust a breakdown of a relic or a buildup on a relic? I have a buckle that I am soaking in oil that is heavily encrusted in rust. Someone mentioned to me that they do this with buckles and other relics, soak them for days and then lightly sand the rust off with fine sandpaper. This brought up the question in my head about rust. I was wondering if the rust is built on top of the relic and but removing the rust I will see the relic almost exactly when it was lost, or will the relic be missing sections or have the original metal missing due to the rust actually eating away the original metal?
Thanks for answering my stupid question
