    Rust protection compounds

    Hi all

    Have been doing a little experimenting by applying different products onto bare metal and seeing what happens when I leave them in the elements. I've disolved beeswax into turps to turn it into a liquid and applied that to a small section of steel, a small section I applied marine grease and the 3rd section is marine grease and the wax, both disolved into turps. When dried, the wax section and grease/wax mix are both touchable and not sticky.


    Has rained all week very heavily and this is how it looks at the moment.


    Where there is rust, nothing was applied. Will leave it out in the weather for a few months and see which one works best.

    IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.
