2 Katars Preservation

[ariel]

Does anybody use rust converters ( Rust-Oleum, Corroseal et al)?


It has tannin, that converts rust to black magnetite and a polymer to seal it completely?

There is no way to de-rust examples like Bandook's katars without leaving only a foil-thin sliver of live steel.

I have shown here a 15-16th century bauernwehr preserved like that. That's how the surface looks like
