Re: (ET) Spring cleaning leads to questions

["Mike Wallace" <metman glasgow-ky com>]

I may have mentioned this before; but it seems like a lot of you fellows are 
fans of POR.  There is a better product out there for about the same price 
and it's called Rust Encapsulator from The Eastwood Company.

I just recently bought another quart of black and it cost me $29.99 + $5.95 
S&H delivered to KY from PA.  It comes in red, black and silver and in 
aerosol cans too.

Here's a link to their website for this product;
