Gimp's sash weights.....

Thu Aug 24, 2017 3:52 pm

From rust-dusty to stealth ops. Al clued me in a possible process, found it on the internet.... Al adds value ;-)

(Now if I could only get the photo editor to work out!)

Morning coffee outfit. You missed my flannel jammy bottoms, rag sweatshirt, and 15 year old Filson hat.

The neighborhood ladies dig me, I'm authentic, rarely wear underwear, and don't own North Face.

Trap dip? Truck bed liner? Paint? What's the coating?

Used Rust-Oleum Leak Seal. Also used Plasti Dip as a comparison. For rough work, go with Rust-Oleum. PlastiDip is more suited to finish work.

Didn't use flex seal, Rust-Oleum cheaper.

If I do it again I'll get the quart can and paint it on vs spray.

Vinegar and salt soak

Rinse, steel wool, wire brush

Dunk on solvent

Let air dry with solvent on to work into pours. The cast iron is heavy and solid, but sometimes "Pocky" since they didn't really worry about finish.

After that, ran through Denatured Alcohol to get solvent residue off. Let dry again. Painted.
