Tony Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Marcin,I'd tend to just rub some oil over the surface and leave it at that.You could go over it with 00 guage wire wool beforehand but you may also scratch some of the remaining paint while doing so.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Don't clean, stabilize. The best thing I've found is Boeshield T-9.Just dab it on with a Q-tip. Trying to remove anything wiill only do more damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunyadi Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Somewhere I read that you can boil it in distilled water and the rust turns to black oxide - then seal it with a dab of oil and it should be OK for a few decades at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buellmeister Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yikes! Just to be safe I'd say a little oil and a light rub of a Q-tip.Regards,Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
