1168739	2011-01-12 00:36:00	Did you say you were organizing donations from F1 ? No. I didn't say that but it's a good suggestion! Any idea what's the proposed target amount that we can raise? $1.00 or 2?	bk T (215)

There's a bit of well-meaning but misinformed help here bk T - just to clarify, you should never use metal-based products like steel wool or wire wheels to remove rust; if the rust is flaking badly enough to require abrasion, use a silicone carbide sandpaper (often sold as wet and dry), or better yet, a scotchbrite stripping disc (multimedia.3m.com ChshvTSevTSeSSSSSS--), which is an open-weave nylon product impregnated with silicone carbide. Once this is back to bare metal (or as close as possible), I'd recommend the Wattyl Killrust range here (www.wattyl.com.au).	nofam (9009)
