A not-quite home DIY question but in here seems the most appropriate place:
What's the best solution for rust? I have a narrowboat that has been abused for about 30 years and the baseplate on the inside is rusty. I'm in the process of cleaning it up by scraping off all of the flaky bits and looking for something to paint onto it to stop it getting any worse. Ideally something that will allow a coat of bitumen based paint over the top of it as the ballast (paving slabs) has to go back down over it and bitumen paint will self heal any little scratches and hold the ballast in place as it sinks into the paint a little over time.
Is there much difference in the normal brands? Worth splashing out on some Owatrol oil?
