If it is rust and I suspect it is. This has happened to every block I ever had cleaned.

I stopped removing rust years ago when I discovered latex base rust converter. It changes the rust to a hard black substance that can be painted or left alone if you want black. The best part is that it stops future rust. The problem with removing rust is that it just comes back unless you use an elaborate metal treatment process. Rustoleum is worthless, no better than plain paint.

Rust converter is so easy to use you will wonder why you didn't use it years ago. It is expensive but available at WM. WM has different brands but it must be latex base. One brand is "Extend" and is made by Loctite Co. Latex base converter is very thick and a creamy color

If you must remove rust the acid that is used in swimming pools, Hydrocloric I think, works very well and is inexpensive. It is, however, very dangerous and the metal must be washed thoroughly and treated immediately because it starts to rust instantly.
