Just wondering if any one here has any experience in coating rust to keep the rust look but stop it getting rust stains on other stuff? Yep.
We got a cheap (cheapest and best looking we could find) steel decorative screen and put it up at the end of our decking between 2 post's. It looks great but I know its going to drip rusty water on to the decking. They are made to be mounted on a wall but I put through the side to mount it so its pretty exposed to the weather. I also drilled 2 drainage holes in the bottom so it cant collect water. So rusty water will be draining on to the deck at some stage. Cant be avoided I don't think.
Any way the only things I can find to use online are WD40 which sounds like a shit idea or Penetrol. Pentrol is an oil based paint additive. The results I have seen online look ok but it could be also be slightly better than WD40. The back of the screen is fully exposed to the weather.
Does any one have a better solution or have you used Penetrol before?
Cheers.
