[Shop-talk] Trailer clean-up and paint

[Karl Vacek]

I've used RustOleum Rust Reformer for years with excellent results.  It 
applies milky white but clears as it dries and turns the rust black.  On 
some old unused, rusty patio furniture I applied the Rust Reformer with no 
other preparation and then left it outside with no paint for several years. 
 Never rusted again.
