Got a BUNCH of rusty tire chains, that are shedding every
time I move them.

Got citric acid for derusting, now just need something to
keep them from rusting again.

Dip application, and preferably won't cover me whith slime
every time I have to move 'em into or out of vehicle.


thanks

Hook em up to the rear bumper of your car and drag em a few miles down
a gravel road. Works great for cleaning them (and chain) up.

Then store em in 50 cal ammo cans with a spritz of LPS-3 before
closing them up. Lable the cans for the chain size and voila! Bobs
your uncle.

Ive kept my tire chains that way for decades. Works very well.

Tire chains in Southern California....... In the high desert......



They have other uses than just traction on ice & snow.
