Questions about preserving Iron relics.....

[Greg in Michigan]

I have some iron relics, axes, horse shoes, RR spikes, ect. And wondered how you guys preserve them?
A few I wire wheeled but what next? They'll just re rust. Is there a clear spray or something else I can do?

FIRST dry them thoroughly in a low oven----then use a nonglare epoxy.--This is one covering---there are others.

Thanks Doc for I have rusty iron items, too--but they will probably stay that way as too much other stuff needs done before I head Home -- my heavenly one that is & the glory of my Savior & Lord, Jesus, will need no polishing--for no RUST will be there--anyway I don't think so! Ma

warm them in the oven then rub bees wax on them. Others spray paint them
