Read all about the crown rust-proofing, etc. the first time around. Somebody said they were checking on US availability. I never saw another post about it since then. Anybody?

Do you guys in Canada not salt your roads??? eh??? The following are from old posts on rust prevention in Canada:
>From: Frank Condelli <RAlanen@aol.com> Do not hesitate a nanosecond. If it is as you say, BUY IT NOW ! Spray it with Krown Rust Proofing right away and you got yourself a keeper and a very good usable investment. >SNIP What's Krown Rust Proofing? First there was Rust Check, then some disgruntled franchisees broke off and formed Krown. The products are much the same. The price is about $U 30-40 per gallon. The product is a light oil with rust inhibiting additives. The oil and additives are non toxic, so it posses no environmental danger. When the oil is prayed inside the panels, the oil will migrate into the seams where the rust is (or will be). In my personal experience, it prevents rust 100% and stops existing rust dead. Its a Canadian thing, eh.

If this stuff >is >oil-based, then you can't paint on topof it, right? Spray the anti rust oil on the seam both outside and inside. Keep on repeating about every other day until you think the seams are wet with oil. Wait a week and wash off the oil on the outside. Now you can paint. In future years, spray the seams from the inside. The seam rust will show through but the rust rot is stopped as long as the seams have anti rust oil in them.
