    Suncorite shelf life?

    Peter, someone over here is selling 1/2 liter bottles of Suncorite for a fancy price. I am thinking of getting one, but your comment worries me. Could you be a bit more specific about shelf life? And can one touch up old surfaces with it, or would I have to strip the tatty parts and start with blank metal?

    I have a Suncorite and it is better to clean up the old parts via glass bead blasting and after it you should do a blueing job and than the Suncorite, Patrick! If you want, PM me.

    Nothing is impossible until you've tried it !
