Reply:Outstanding!Great job, as usual.
Reply:Great job, Mario.Reminds me of a funny piece by Dave Barry:“The greatest Electrical Pioneer of them all was Thomas Edison... Edison's first major invention, in 1877, was the phonograph, which could soon be found in thousands of American homes, where it basically sat until 1923, when the record was invented.”"USMCPOP" First-born son: KIA  Iraq 1/26/05Syncrowave 250 w/ Coolmate 3Dialarc 250, Idealarc 250SP-175 +Firepower TIG 160S (gave the TA 161 STL to the son)Lincwelder AC180C (1952)Victor & Smith O/A torchesMiller spot welder

Reply:Originally Posted by latzamanThanks Mario, I learned something new today. So if I understand correctly, the rust inhibitor would have to be colorless and you wipe it off immediately after applying it so that only a very thin layer remains on the part?

Reply:Mario,Many people have made their own vibratory tumblers, some very large.  Just a motor with an off-balance weight, springs and a bucket.  You could also make a slow speed rotary tumbler quite easily.
