I'm posting this here because classic car types typically know more about rust than anyone else. Heck, this group knows about living on boats, impeaching justices, and picking cherries -- why not rust?
My unit been tasked with building a 9/11 Memorial Park on my military base for a statue that a local artist has created. Nobody consulted the artist before committing to build a park, so nobody realized that the statue is made of mild steel.
Now the Admiral has made a big deal out of this park, and the artist is upset about the idea of his statue sitting outside rusting.
So now I'm trying to figure out a way to rust-proof the thing so both parties are happy. Anyone know of someplace that'll galvanize a statue? How about alternate treatments -- electrolysis dipping, or chemical something-or-other?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
