[TowerTalk] Rust & paint

[Larry]

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.
