Boats carry those little cans too and I've seen them in eastern Canada as well as northern New England.

I made an Instructable. With pictures.

Yes, it's not done. But I wanted to toss something up.

Content for other sites! Not in the Wiki!

I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave.

(on the more constructive note, nice work

)

It's 95% done now. All the info within can be used for a project.

If anyone has any questions, I'd love to hear them.

I have one question:

Why does a Global Moderator post that kind of info outside of this forum ?

Weird. Really weird.

What the heck are you talking about?

So you're saying no one else should know about this?

This kind of content is the essence of a forum like this.

Just MHO. And I don't want to register to that site just to see the full-size pictures....

WunderCade · « **Reply #48 on:** June 03, 2009, 05:59:51 pm »

Good point Level42, this is a great tutorial to sticky somewhere on the forum. Maybe there should be a sticky on Restoration Forum titled...Tips, Tricks and How-To's of Restoration or something like that.

Instructables is an awesome resource regardless of this application. I can easily lose myself for hours checking out projects that people have done. You may want to rethink that account.

Also: I'm putting it on my own website, but haven't had time to write up the code. So there's that.

Plus you can use instructibles to drive traffic to this site that would otherwise not find it...

That was my point with the HAL joke, you know.

I see it the other way around, content draws people.

Content keeps people... something as simple as a link on a high traffic sight can draw people. Look at how many people flock to everything that gets Dugg. That's just a mention on a major website that will bring in thousands in minutes. It is true that nobody will stay if there isn't good content once they get here, though.

patrickl · « **Reply #54 on:** June 05, 2009, 07:06:12 am »

If you think about Google, content will draw people. I'll bet Google is a lot more relevent to traffic here than Digg is.

It's just as easy to draw google users with keywords and spam as it is with actual content. Probably even easier.

SirPeale · « **Reply #56 on:** June 05, 2009, 10:02:04 am »

I don't think Arcade Controls has anything to worry about in terms of drawing people. How much traffic do you get again, Saint?

So Peale, after the rust is gone....are you using a solution bath to remove all that black oxide leftover?

Wire wheel takes care of it pretty well.

Level42 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 07, 2009, 03:58:13 am »

Mmmmm, doesn't the wire wheel remove rust too ?

Sure, but the electrolysis breaks the bond with the metal. So when you wire wheel it it just comes right off. If you don't, you really have to work at it.

Here's another one I just put up.
