[TowerTalk] Anyone used POR-15? Rust inhibitor/fixer

[ersmar at comcast.net]

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.
