One thing is definite, salt goes EVERYWHERE!
When I weld in patches, I usually use weld through primer and the coat all of the metal with cosmolene.
The military uses it for rust proofing and all of the jobs I've used it on have little to no rust return.
I remember working on an original Brit Mini that was bought over from Canada. I replaced a rotted driver door skin.
The car had been Ziebarted and still rotted. You could see where the salt traveled up the inside of the door skin and stopped. Sort of like paper chromatography (remember that from high school?)
Anyway, salt sux.
