Re: [TowerTalk] Tower Rust Repair

John -

Myself and another local friend used Rust Bullet for the first time last 
year and so far we are very happy with it.  Bring several sets of disposable 
gloves and full body painter's coveralls, however, or you will look like the 
Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz when you're done.  This stuff gets on 
everything.

I'd recommend applying with a sponge.  It's messier than a brush, but about 
4 times faster.
