Russ:
With a couple inches of SLEET on the ground and on the tower today,
needless to say it'll be some time before I get to touching up the bit of
rust on my tower. But rest assured, I will report on the project in the
spring.
BTW - I bought the starter kit from these guys just so I could test the
material without much $$ expenditure. $24 seemed like a cheap enough
gamble.
