I left the bottom open just in case something needed to drain out. All good so far. How close are you to flight again?

Keep in mind that Stainless Steel is not rust PROOF, but rust and corrosion resistant. Pat is absolutely correct - if you introduce iron (standard steel fines) to the surface of stainless, that will seed the surface with iron and you will get rust and/or corrosion. 300 series steels are "self-passivating" due to the higher chrome/nickel content. 400 series steels, particularly 420 is prone to corrosion unless chemically passivated. There are passivation gels (acid based) that can be used to encourage a passive surface; if it is clean 300 series stainless, it will self-passivate when exposed to oxygen. Acidic cleaners will strip oxides from the surface and encourage a passivation layer - make sure you rinse well and dry. If you have the money, titanium is inert and the rust or corrosion you might see is introduced from iron contaminants from machining or cutting; easily removed with the right polishing compound. It is also very light, but comparatively soft. Mark W.
