Bert,

As always, Google is your friend!

http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=26344/Product/RUST_VETO

By the gallon and the initial price looks quite reasonable. $34.95/gallon + shipping?

I had remembered a buddy that is in to guns having a formula to make it, so just looked up...how to make it....and ended up at the URL above.

I think painted rather than speayed would be better.


Cheers, dave

Volks,

The metal springs of our old beetles came coated with a flexible waxy
Cosmoline covering that did a pretty good job of preventing rust.  In
getting the frames cleaned up and repainted, I usually end up damaging and
partially removing some of this Cosmoline.

I've found the Cosmoline Web site.  Sadly, they won't sell spray cans of the
stuff in quantities smaller than a case.  A writer to one forum says that
Eastwood Heavy-duty Anti-rust is the same stuff.

Anybody know where to find small quantities of Cosmoline at retail?  Know of
any more readily available products that do the same thing -- that is, a
flexible, waxy, permanent coating for seat springs?
