The list is slow!

The stuff is gray in the can but when mixed with the hardener (red) it
turns the pinkish color.  I hope to cover it with some primer and slap
on some paint as apparently Bondo and some primers will hold water
when dry.  While I did get rid of most of the rust and sand (er
grind... love the Dremel!) down to bare metal, I did not put on any
rust-inhibitor.  Wasn't thinking.  But as I said, I doubt we'll be
selling this thing and I don't care if it's pretty or only lasts a
couple of years.

While I neglected to take pics of the prep, I will get some now (after
first glopped on coat of Bondo).
