Buddy had some moisture issues in his safe.

Before






During




After

Was his safe underwater? Nice job cleaning them!

He thinks moisture is wicking through his concrete slab. He has a plug in dehumidifier but still had this happen.

Nice work! How do you fill in the pits left behind by the surface rust?

Media blasting takes care of most. There are also fillers that can be used.

When doing the sling swivel and the scope rings, do you shoot the inside of the ring? How does that affect the holding capacity?

Suggestion for your customer. Get the safe off of the slab. Can be as simple as a furring strip along the front and back edge of the safe. Then there isn't moisture migration from the concrete slab.

Thanks

I did blast and coat the swivel and rings. The swivel actually holds better and I will see if the same is true for the rings. Haven’t had an issue in the past but this will give it a good test!

That is a nice save

Nice job. What kind of products would you use to fill if the pits are too deep? Thanks

You can use JB Weld and I have used bondo on some.
