Preventing rust becore paint

I've spent days stripping my duster down to bare metal and would like to protect it before paint as I have alot more to do. I've read ospho can be applied and wiped, and later applied again and wiped off but can I do the same with evaporust? I already have a gallon of it here.

The only problem I see is when evaporust dries on a flat smooth surface, it can become sticky. You'd have to clean it all off, plus whatever sticks to it, and the longer it sits there the more water you'd have to use to get it to dissolve, which would negate using it in the first place.

Plus once it's removed, the bare metal will want to flash rust.
