Re: RE: (ET) best tires for hilly grass/battery compartment spray

["Bob Murcek" <rmurcek geisinger edu>]

Rust-Oleum makes a product called "Rust Reformer" that sounds similar; I 
used this on mine E12.  It's odd stuff.  A friend with some knowledge of 
chemistry says its reacts with the iron oxide to change it to a more 
stable iron compound (that's black) and in the process bonds to a smooth 
plastic-y coating that's left when it dries.  The coating turns out to be 
a really good undercoat for industrial enamel.  I ended up using this for 
undercoat even in the places where I pretty much sanded to bare metal 
because I ended up trusting it more than primer to protect the metal 
surface.  Several years have passed and it's holding up nicely.
