I checked the archives and found little/nothing on this subject, so I thought I'd ask.
As I look down the road to completion of the "Spridget Project" I'm already thinking in terms of maintenance and enjoyment...I think those two terms go hand-in-glove. Rust repair was a major factor in both effort and budget on this project and I'd like to do what I can to insure that it will not be a huge problem for a future owner. I'm being thorough in removal, prep, and paint as well as implementing some controls such as weep holes, drain plugs, etc.
One consideration is the use of an electronic rust/corrosion inhibitor. I've visited the web sites for Counteract, RusTerminator, and RustStop as well as some of the commentary type sites with evaluations and opinions.
I thought I'd ask the list if any of you have used one of these, or similar, products; what your personal experience has been; what your recommendation would be. I'd also welcome comments from those that have investigated the technology and either discounted it as "snake oil", labelled it as a potential help, or think it's the best thing to come along since sliced bread but for whatever reason have not implemented it.
Your thoughts?
