[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 488031, member: 27803"] Thank you Dale. I wanted to let you know I appreciate your advice. I put a tiny engraving bit for soft metal on my Dremel and strarted checked pits. I just thought I had all the corrosion out! It’s been tedious but with a magnifying glass I’ve been chasing the corrosion until I hit good metal. It’s made some of the pits a little bigger but not any worse than the rest. I’m crossing my fingers I don’t find one that there’s no end to or goes through the bottom. If I make it ok. Im going to use a degreaser cleaner I found then give it an acetone wipe down (probably going overboard) Then I’m thinking of going ahead and putting a coat of polish and then some Star Brite protectant. No epoxy. I’ll keep it clean and dry and every so often give it a deep clean and reapply polish and protectant. I’ll have a floor over it that will be easy to remove often so no moisture or grime gets started. [/QUOTE]
