I'm impressed by Fluid Film, the lanolin based rust preventative
spray. Its non toxic, spreads and creeps into nooks and crannies, and
seems to be pretty resistant to wash off. And I like the smell.

Hey all,

I've just found a small spot of surface rust by the front step on the
driver
side. I was going to sand it off and spray it with some zinc chromate
for
the time being, just to stop it from spreading, and then worry about the
actual painting later.
The problem is that I think it's too cold to use the primer, and I don't
have a garage to do this in. It's about 30 degrees outside, and the
product
calls for 70 for best results.

Is there something else I can do in the meantime to slow down the
process
until it gets warmer? I was thinking of putting some sort of oil on
it, or
maybe spraying it with spray on wax to keep oxygen from getting to it.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks!
