Preserving painted or corroded paint finishes

Post by desertangler »

Hi Everyone,

I have a couple of reels that I'm trying to figure out what to do with. One has softened paint finish from the use of oil, the other has some slight corrosion/paint bubbling.

Any suggestions on salvaging the oil softened paint (besides not touching it!)? How about the corroded paint/finish?

I was thinking about dipping in Pledge Floor Care wax. This stuff leaves a water resistant slightly shiny finish and is used by museums to preserve fossils and the like.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

George
