'Gave my soldering stuff to BIL several years ago when my tremor got so bad
I thought I'd never be able to use it again. 'Had 5 or 6 years now with
very little tremor; some returning last 2 or 3 months. Just hope it doesn't
get really bad again.

You could go the old-fashioned route and patch it up with lead or solder.

kit?

Guess what I just found!! I have right here on my desk a POR 15 SUPER
STARTER KIT - never opened; got it 8 or 9 years ago to try on a small
place
on underside of '81 300D I had then - sold the car before using the POR
15.
I have a small plastic jar of METAL READY, small plastic jar of MARINE
CLEAN
and a small can of RUST PREVENTIVE PAINT.

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:
http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=antique+galvanized+watering+can&id=2C3B1E48FDA1402B82F35E24BFA2BAA0194CEFBB&FORM=IQFRBA#
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
