Re: [FWDLK] repair panels

[goiola <goiola@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used " Amsoil non-flamable Rust Preventative" with good results. The
stuff I have comes in a 16 oz spray bottle. Awhile back I did a repair on
the hitch on my camper which required grinding and welding.  As a test I
left metal bare and sprayed this on it and it was rust free from one summer
into the next , then rust started showing - so it would require
reapplication after some time.  A friend of mine sandblasted hood hinges on
his car and wanted the natural metal effect so sprayed them with Amsoil -
after a year they still look good.  Also, this protectant is non-flammable
as it contains no petroleum distillates, CFC's or solvents.  I was skeptical
at first but it works.     John Z in Mosinee, WI
