Clean loose scale when dry. Paint the inside
with POR 15. After dry, recoat if necessary,
but for pinholes, one coat should do. Then paint
with "galvanized" paint
You may want to paint the underside too.
OK, here's another chance for y'all (Southern for youse guys ;<)) to excel.
We have an antique, galvanized steel watering
can almost identical to the one shown in the
following link:

SWMBO's mother had it sitting around her yard
MANY years (I remember seeing it there sixty
years ago - 'thought it was old then). Son # 1
shot the side of it with a B B more than 50
years ago, so it still has a little B B ding on
the side that has not been a problem. SWMBO's
been using it around the yard for about 43
years. Well, I was sitting out on the side
terrace a little while ago enjoying the sunny,
82° afternoon, picked up the watering can and
held it up to look at the bottom of it and
noticed 3 or 4 small holes in the bottom.
Finally, here's the question - chance for y'all
to excel - how can I clean the inside, bottom of
it well enough and then, maybe, pour in some
type of epoxy, or goopy material which could
ooze out through the little holes and seal the
can so we can keep using it for another 50
years? Suggestions, tips?
TIA
Wilton
