    Quoted from boneman91:

    Well hopefully these made it through this time.

    Is the left shot the "before" pic and the right the "after"?

    Quoted from boneman91:

    Left is the scrubbed side, right is the scrubbed side.

    Whaaaa? Both are after shots?

    I am totally going to try this aluminum foil thing. I have 4 badly rusted legs. I will take before and after pics. The worst leg will be started/completed tomorrow for all to see.

    Felt light headed and fevered last night. Didn't get to try the aluminum foil/water thing. Might be a blessing in disguise though as the PVC/cider trick seems to have mind-blowing results.

    Does it have to be PVC or is ABS okay? Lowes only sells 10 ft lengths.

    Quoted from Lonzo:

    I bought mine at lowes. Didn't pay attention to what it was.

    If it's white it's PVC. If it's black it's ABS.

    Damn. I can't even get a 10ft. length of PVC into the car. I'll try Home Depot, maybe they'll have shorter lengths.

    #61 9 years ago

    I don't need 10ft. I need 4ft. max.

    Driving with anything sticking outside of the back windows is illegal. Out of the trunk is fine as long as it's flagged properly.

    I'll try ABS. I was just worried that the black colour wouldn't work as well, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

    #63 9 years ago

    The had shorter ABS lengths, which is why I plan to use ABS instead, but the PVC was 10' only. I asked.

    There are stupid people everywhere.

    My thinking was more in line with "What do I do with the extra 6 ft. of pipe?"

    Leave it in the parking lot? I'm no environmentalist, but I don't like waste like this.

    How much cider do I need to fill a pipe like this?

    #75 9 years ago

    The 10ft. length is $10. I'll have 7 extra feet. I'll offer it up to other Pinsiders, but they would have to be local as it would cost me an arm and a leg to ship even to the next city over.

    Quoted from HighProtein:

    I take them to my powder coat place,
    they sand blast it and powder coat them.

    I was thinking of doing this. The results posted here using some basic groceries are quite good though.
