Re: book press rust

[Rodney Fry <mandrfry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Annabel,

You may like to look at my response to a query on the restoration of a 
Hickock press which I sent on the 16 February 2009 -  it will be in the 
archives if you did not catch it.   I think you will find it answers your 
queries?   

I am not familiar with Rust-oleum although it is available in the UK 
http://www.rustoleumdirect.co.uk/
I would think that the primer 769 Damp-proof rust primer would be suitable.  
I have used a phosphoric acid gel "Jenolite" 
http://www.jenolite.com/shopping_cart_jenolite_hobby.htm
prior to the primer coat I -   am sure there must be something similar in the 
US.
