What I do is use a slap polisher to clean the rust of, then dry it out and then put lacquer on it to prevent it from rusting

Hi Jim,

I agree, but I found the Admire, so I would like to keep it

Tim.

Hi Tim and list,

Here is what I do  to stop rust on my Irons and pallasites.

First remove any  surface rust by sanding, buffing or with BKF  (barkeepers 

friend).

Second, soak the meteorite in "Kano Kroil" penetrating oil  for at  least 8 
hours. I use this product in my manufacturing business and it  has  
prevented 
rusting of metal parts that I keep in cold storage for  years. Here's a  
link to there site:  _http://www.kanolabs.com/_  
(_http://www.kanolabs.com/_ (http://www.kanolabs.com/) ) 

Third,  dry the piece with a cloth. The oil tends to bleed out of  
pallasites for days  because of all there crevices.

Fourth, I apply a coat of automotive paste  wax. I prefer a brand  called 
"Mothers" but I believe any quality brand would  work just as  well.

Lastly, I only openly display my etched irons  and pallasites during  the 
dry winter months. I live in northern Illinois and the  summer  humidity 
can 
get high. In summer I store these in plastic bags with  desiccant  and also 
use a 
few mini dehumidifiers.

home-garden&qid=1268267140&sr=8-3) ) 

I  treated my 248 gram Admire over a year ago and it has been rust  free 
ever  since.

Cheers,
Jim K

Hello List  Members,

I was hoping someone could help me with this one.
I have 2  pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire 
and  Fukang.

Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is  there a 
way 
to clean
them up and seal it against any further  rusting.  I willing to try 
anything 
new that might work.
Any  ideas?

I live in St.Louis, its very humid here, I know this might be hard  to stop.
