[TheForge] outdoor finish for rusty steel

Tue Nov 25 10:06:00 2003

Two coats primer, two coats finish paint.
Incralac is for copper?
N.C. doesn't have quite the humidity as Ga. , but close.
Oil and wax WILL rust exterior.
Do you REALLY trust a maintanence guy to apply oil and wax every other year?

Subject: [TheForge] outdoor finish for rusty steel

I am working on a sculpture that will be installed in a covered vestibule
outside of a bank its in Charlotte NC
not in the direct sunlight and not in direct rain
I am thinking about using linseed oil and wax formula
with the explanation to the client that the piece will need routine
maintenance
do any of you use oil and wax for outdoor rusted sculptures? if so how has
it worked out for you .
what about incralac? has anyone had experience with this on steel outdoors?
