Update CSS NASHVILLE relics

[Jonl51]

Hi All,
In order to try to preserve my cast iron cat- walk plating from the CSS NASHVILLE, I used
Gempler's Rust Converter to seal the rust. Here are the results, before and after. Only time
will tell, but so far I'm liking the results. This is not paint, but simply how the Gempler's reacts
to the rust. Decided to try this instead of the hot wax method. The next phase of this little project
will be some type of display arrangement. Have a good one!

Looks good let us know when its complete as I always do electrolysisn and the the hot wax and if this stuff is that good it would eliminate a step. Just don't know how it would work on dug artillery shells.

Our buddy Steve P. swears by it, but I have never personally used it.
