Is this a coating? Does it dry and harden somewhat? If so,
that would affect tone would it not?<br><br>

Extend (rust proofing spray) on strings? I would, of course, try to
remove the rust from as much of the strings as possible. It is
clear, but makes rust turn black. I've used it on boat trailers and
rust on my cars with good success. I wonder if it might be useful
on pianos. Anyone tried this?<br>

<dd>Another good way of removing rust is to go to a beauty supply store
and get <br>

fine, <br>

<dd>Greetings, <br>

<dd> I am not sure
about this but if you let rust on the strings, wont that block the
atmosphere from attacking the surface and prevent further new rust from
forming?...or....does it work the opposite? that is, if you take
the rust away it will inhibit any more from forming??? I ahave always
wondered about this.<br>
