Title: metal parts 'warehousing' Post by: Rabbitoh on December 02, 2008, 10:44:57 AM What is the best way to 'put to sleep' for a year or so my collection of de-rusted (thank you Mr Molasses) metal FE parts?
I will be tied up doing body repairs for about a year (at least) and don't fancy seeing all the surface rust returning over that timeframe. I don't particularly want to paint them (those that are to be painted, that is) yet. Coating in WD40 or the like, seems messy and short term. Any ideas? Title: Re: metal parts 'warehousing' Post by: FCOV6 on December 02, 2008, 08:02:47 PM Really the only way is to not touch them or repair and at least prime them to keep them rust free and even then you may get some surface rust if the conditions are not right.

(I suppose Auto paint retailers will know what I'm after eh) Title: Re: metal parts 'warehousing' Post by: FC427 on December 02, 2008, 11:27:12 PM I have not been able to buy it from any paint suppliers for over 20 years it use to be called RUST-IN-OIDE or something like that,, thats why I get it from the sand blaster but who knows ???? .........FC427........
