Hi all

Whilst doing various jobs outside I've had to cut down bolts to shorten them
to a more appropriate length. Problem is this leaves a bare steel end open
to the elements. Is there anything I can dip the cut end into to stop it
rusting ?

Paint isn't really practical as it will clog up the threads, thought about a
rust converter but don't know if this would work on bare steel, really
looking for something that would give an 'instant plating' effect (in terms
of performance not cosmetically)

Cheers

Jim
