Exactly, I think wax will be only minimally effective. The areas that rust are usually in corners, seams and edges. I think that if you are truly worried about extending the life of the cabinetry, you should take the bottom, back and sides out and throw a couple good coats of rust converter and then gray paint on them. The Massey Fergusen Rustoleum gray farm and implement paint is a dead on match.
Better yet, hit the edges and creases with some Por15 or other rust preventative before repainting. That should extend the life a long time.
Agree. Wax is not the best solution. It works well for knocking the glare of shotguns for waterfowl hunting, but not for preventing rust.
Spent 20 years dealing with rust on ships. In the boiler rooms and engine rooms of ships. 1200 psi at 975 degrees I have spent a lot of time behind a needle gun. And in gloves of a sandblasting cabinet getting rid of rust on steam valves. Kind of therapeutic in a way watching the rust getting blown away and wish I had one available to me now.
Has taken me a couple of months to get parts for my Genesis and in the long game kind of wish that I would just gotten the Costco replacement. But I grew up with bread bags for socks as waterproofing for my boots. And keep the rubber bands from broccoli and bread ties in a drawer in the kitchen. Because.
Fluid film works for many vehicles and farm implements to prevent rust. In the middle of the Side by Side shoots right now and the parts have come in for my grill finally but don't have time to work on it. Was at Medford Wi. last week for the Great Northern and getting ready for the Duluth Double Gun shoot now. Then I can put my grill back together.
Floor pan plywood is already cut out and primed. Picked up the left panel from evil bay as an open box.
Come on man. Anywhere there are slots for vents even on the replacement panel there is no paint. It was hit peridenclar to the surface when painted, with no primer or angle to paint the exposed metal on the edges. And raw metal is exposed. And the rust creeps and crawls both North and South.
Spraying Fluid Film inside of both left and right frames and rotating them to drench all internal surfaces.
Once I have assembled it, and sprayed Fluid Film on all surfaces once a year I will put down a tarp and spray everything with Fluid Film after removing the lid. Still waiting for stainless steel hardware to come in. And wipe it off so it isn't so sticky, but still leaves a protective coating . It penetrates with a high creep equal to Kroil and I will hit the floor pan especially hard. It works with wood as well as metal.
