RE: Corroless and Eastwood

I just got a catalog from Eastwood yesterday (yippee!) and it appears that at 
least one of their products called Corroless isn't so much like Waxoyl, but 
rather is more of a chemical conversion rust stabilizer that goes on like a 
primer coat. It comes in either spray cans or liquid pints/quarts for brush-on, 
or maybe it can be sprayed with a sprayer. It leaves a red/brown indicator 
color coat to show coverage. No serious rust removal or metal prep, according 
to Eastwood. Just put it on and the rust quits rusting. It doesn't seem to be 
waxy, though. I think you are supposed to be able to paint over it. Maybe they 
have another "Corroless' product that IS waxy? I didn't finish reading the 
catalog yet.

Knowing how books get edited, if Porter had offered techniques that discussed 
both Waxoyl and Corroless, some editor may have jammed the two concepts 
together and come up with a mythical Corroless Cavity Wax, if this is the only 
citiation anybody has seen. Just a possibility.

FWIW.

I saw that too.  Eastwood's carries Corroless. So maybe they have it.  
But I can't seem to find the dang catalog.  If they don't have it, I'd 
like to know where it can get some too.
