Re: M42 SD Battle damaged relic from St-Vith
Maybe "painting" it with some bees wax. Heat it till it becomes liquid and apply a thin coat. I don't know if somebody will go against me on this one though.

Re: M42 SD Battle damaged relic from St-Vith
Thanks for the advise,
will it stop the rusting?

Re: M42 SD Battle damaged relic from St-Vith
I think i will stop the oxidation process to some degree. Bees wax is used for many iron relics. It is a neutral product. Not aggressive to the decal and paint.

Ok,
Thanx a lot for the advise, I'll give it a go with the bees wax.
Cheers,
Steven

Re: M42 SD Battle damaged relic from St-Vith
You could try using a flat matt sealer in spray form, it will stop further oxidation on the outside skin of the metal but as for under the rust it all depends whether theres still damp patches or if its completely dry, you may want to heat the metal all over with a hairdryer before spraying

Re: M42 SD Battle damaged relic from St-Vith
I think it is impossible to completely stop the rust, but i don't know for sure. The reason i would stick to the wax is that it contains no solvents. Let us hear some more opinions.

Now he's completly dry, but it made the paint and decal even more fragile.

I think you should wait a little with applying anything until we get some more opinions. If the paint and decal is fragile, think twice about applying solvent based product. What if the decal gets damaged by the solvent? Getting blurred or even start "running".
