Reformer seems to work well. When I have used it has come out flat black
like the item was primed. I do not know how it would be under cold
galvanizing. I have always just used the cold galvanizing spray when I
wanted galvanizing. Reformer has been around a few years (5?) now. It has
worked well on metal at the beach and inland.

Thanks, John. Reformer is, I think, a new product that isn't just a coating
over the rust, but chemically destroys/transforms it. Guess no one has used
it yet.

In Aruba I used Rustoleum rusty metal primer in the bad areas before
painting the entire tower with cold galvanizing once or twice a year. I
have never seen any primer instructions with the zinc enriched paint
however doing this did not seem to cause any bad reaction. I am not sure
what reaction the Reformer would cause. If the corrosion is minimal I
would just paint it the cold galvanizing product. It is easy to apply
with a painting mitt.

Would you use it with cold galvanizing, or alone?
