After cleaning off the second set of spindles, I prepared the parts for Rust Bullet. Rust Bullet is tricky to apply when it's cold. It is thicker than I expected and it starts to cure within minutes so it has to go on fast and completely cover the area without applying too much to the area. The first coat was okay but I'm hoping that a second coat and then a final coat of Black Shell will yield the results I'm after (no rust). This isn't the 'official' restoration so it doesn't have to be perfect just yet.
I'm going to take the pieces to work where they can cure in the warehouse during the week. It's typically over 60°F so they should cure quicker. I may take the second can of Rust Bullet with me to apply the second coat and the black shell to apply the third and final coat. The warehouse is large enough that the fumes won't get crazy strong if I apply it outside and then bring the parts inside to cure. If I can do that and then have them ready for next weekend's assembly-things will be on track, so to speak.
