Re: Coil detailing tips

["Gary Walker" <NashFlash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  If you have some stubborn stuff on the coil case, you can use a strong 
base as opposed to acid cleaner such as oven cleaner.   Do it outside with 
the piece up at least to ambient temperature and you should first put wax in 
the tower rather than get caustic soda inside the high terminal. ( or be 
careful )   Rinse thoroughly with DI. or clean water and immediately dry at 
a few degrees higher than ambient and apply the primer which should be a 
rust converting or inhibiting coater, then do not touch with your hands ! 
Coat with any good primer or top coat and it should be there.
