I stripped an old Townsend 10 speed with Nitro Mors, used a wire brush on a drill to polish it up and then lacquered it with a whole can of Halfords multi puropse Lacquer, I applied lots of coats over a sunny weekend, seems to be holding up ok so far. To be honest if it starts rusting it'll just add to the character as it's a bit of a "rat look" bike anyway. I'll post some pictures once I've finished building it up.
