What I do is use a slap polisher to clean the rust of, then dry it out and then
put lacquer on it to prevent it from rusting

Hi Jim,
I agree, but I found the Admire, so I would like to keep it
Tim.

Hi Tim and list,
Here is what I do to stop rust on my Irons and pallasites.
First remove any surface rust by sanding, buffing or with BKF (barkeepers
friend).
Second, soak the meteorite in "Kano Kroil" penetrating oil for at least 8
hours. I use this product in my manufacturing business and it has
prevented
rusting of metal parts that I keep in cold storage for years. Here's a
link to there site: _http://www.kanolabs.com/_
(_http://www.kanolabs.com/_ (http://www.kanolabs.com/) )
Third, dry the piece with a cloth. The oil tends to bleed out of
pallasites for days because of all there crevices.
Fourth, I apply a coat of automotive paste wax. I prefer a brand called
"Mothers" but I believe any quality brand would work just as well.
Lastly, I only openly display my etched irons and pallasites during the
dry winter months. I live in northern Illinois and the summer humidity
can
get high. In summer I store these in plastic bags with desiccant and also
use a
few mini dehumidifiers.

I treated my 248 gram Admire over a year ago and it has been rust free
ever since.
Cheers,
Jim K

Hello List Members,
I was hoping someone could help me with this one.
I have 2 pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire
and Fukang.
Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is there a
way
to clean
them up and seal it against any further rusting. I willing to try
anything
new that might work.
Any ideas?
I live in St.Louis, its very humid here, I know this might be hard to stop.
