Re: Board #3 How is board #3 doing? Have you decorated it for the season with a string of Christmas lights? Is Mrs. DIY_Guy still pleased to have it in the dining room? I did buy a can of WD Specialist after this test to use as a general purpose rust inhibitor. A little harder to find this...

How did you lap the barrel?
