Hi Group,
I have a lot of powdered zinc if anyone here is interested. I figured
I would offer to the group before I tried to sell it. It is in
plastic bags inside of metal cans. Each can weighs about 90 lbs. If
interested you have to pickup at my shop and take at least one can. I
have 20 cans. It was part of a take it all or nothing deal of a
closed paint store.

I am also open to any good suggestions.

I was googling about and I stumbled accross a rust removal method that
involves immersing the part in a boiling lye solution and adding zinc.
I havent tried it as electrolysis works fine for the small parts I need
to derust but if you have something big to do like a rust siezed engine,
it sound like just the job. Also its sounds like it would avoid the
'shadowing' problems you get with complicated or hollow parts and
electrolysis. http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/rust.htm
Dont see any reason why powder wouldn't work as well if not better than
chunks of the stuff.

If interested email me and we can work out a time to pickup.

Thanks,
Vernon Phillips
