that PVC deprives the metal of oxygen, promotes rust.


Hmm...that's a new one. I thought to make Iron Oxide (rust), you needed
the Oxide part....Oxygen. It doesn't rust if I take that away, like
coating it with paint or grease, right?

My Navy musta had it all wrong. They kept making me scrape the perfectly
good paint off it and putting new paint on it so it WOULDN'T rust away. It
seemed to work. Our ship was 1952 and no rust holes, yet!
