Thanks everyone! I have EvapoRust here, but have never had an opportunity to use it ( no lack of projects, just a lack of time). Overnight, eh? I will maybe put a tub of it in the oven for the night one day this weekend (I know it says that it's "Safe", but my kitters are not the smartest
)
I noticed on the label is said to clean it up then to dip it and let it air dry. Is this a lasting treatment? I don't have to worry about putting her away and then finding her rusted as bad or worse than before?
I like that tip Joe, I can see how that would be a time saver, or at the least a sanity saver.
In other news, I oiled up the "parts machine", she turns beautifully now, but the carriage that holds the shuttle is bent, so the shuttle flops around. I know someone who's just enamored with the Variable shuttles and loves machines with stories and battle scars. This lady has both so I will gift it to him as a display piece.
