Hi Gang -
This tip was passed along to me recently by my father. Believe it or not,
he uses Pam cooking spray as a protective coating for chrome items and
other metallic parts that he is storing for use in long-term restoration
projects. Evidently, once the spray has dried it forms a corrosion-proof
seal on the surface to which it has been applied. Dad says that he has had
parts hanging in his shop for as long as two years that have been
completely preserved using this unorthodox method. He recommends using one
of the new generation of citrus based degreasers for removal of the stuff
as it is nearly impossible to remove with soap and water once dry. Really!
Please note that Dad earns his living repairing, restoring and re-selling
antique british and vintage american motorcycles.
- In response to an earlier query: I believe that Frank Zappa died of
intestinal/colon cancer.
And...is anyone aware of any upcoming MG club events, car shows, or swap
meets in southern Texas? I'm new to the San Antonio area and would be
interested in attending same.
Thanks,
Jed
