I don't really understand flash rust. Perhaps I have been lucky
I had some bodywork blasted about 5 or 6 years ago. I repaired and used an amount of it and stored the rest, without any protection, in an unheated barn. we then moved house and it went in to another unheated barn. It still doesn't have any rust on it, flash or otherwise
I fully expect it to be covered in rust next week now that I have said this

Why not have everything ready to put on the epoxy, and do it as soon as it arrives?

Phosphoric acid, or citric acid?
In my limited experience, it does add some rust protection and I have painted over it with minimal prep, still looks good years later. That was for a garden table.
My welding bench was descaled in citric before welding together and has sat outside since. It has light surface rust but a lot less than I'd have expected.
