Stainless

My impression is that a lot of these suggestions, mine included, treat the symptom but not the cause. The re-emerging rust is coming from iron particles that are part of the weld, as I understand the original post. No matter how spotless and shiny our suggestions get the weld areas, the iron content remains, as does the source of the rust.

The ''ferrous oxide via boiling'' approach is a new one to me. I''m not sure I see how that turns the iron content into an inert form but, if the stanchions are removeable, it would be an interesting experiment.

I''m not sure how my ''internet name'' (whatever that is) connects with a list of Nat Chem''s products, but just for the record - I''m just a customer, but a happy one.<g>
