The subject of naval jelly pops up here occaisionally, and I pretty much skip over the letters thinking that I know everything I need to know about the stuff, but not enough to actually help the person posting. But now I have decided that I need to know more. Firstly, from what I understand, naval jelly chemically bonds to iron oxide creating a shell which prevents further rusting. Am I correct on this, or is it a very nice dream? Socondly, If I am correct correct above, how does the new formed material react to extreme heat? Is naval jellying your exhaust crossovers a good idea? Outside only or inside and out?
Thanks in advance for any light that you can shed on the subject. Sorry I didn't read the previous threads on the subject well enough. Cheers, SStones. Ob-fridayFunly, When is the best time for harvesting Navel Jelly? I've dug about in my belly button for the past month trying to get enough to de-rust my '85, but all I ever get is the lint that I suppose you're supposed to scrub it on with.
Cheers, SStones Toronto Ont. <sstones@idirect.com>
