i have iron gates that are partially in the exterior elements. they are currently rusting and i like them that way.
Is there a method to arrest the rust where it is now and then put a finish so
existing rust will not rub off of me as i pass through them
how can i neutralze the existing rust
suggestions i have heard:
1. get rust to desired amount
coat with a 50/50 mix of tung oil and boiled linseed oil.
2. coat with a VARNNISH
i WANT THEM TO LOOK OLD AND RUSTY LIKE WHEN PAINT CHIPS OFF OUTDOOR FURNITURE AND IT IS PARTIALLY RUSTED.
THERE HAS JUST GOT TO BE A WAY. I WOULD NOT MIND HAVING TO DO MAINTENANCE 2 TIMES PER YEAR. OR SO.
I HAVE NEVER JOINED A GROUP LIKE THIS AND HAVE NO IDEA IF I AM DOING IT RIGHT OR WHO THIS IS GOING TO.
WOULD LOVE ADVISE
