I seen a couple set ups on the forum for immersing the entire tube in evaporust but they are bulky and require a lot of materials "plywood, pcv, ect." and it appeared I had to use many gallons of evaporust. I would be investing more in materials than I paid for my whole SS setup! Maybe now that I'm down to some small pits evaporust and a scotch pad may be effective? Thanks
You can apply Evaporust with paper-towels and the like, but it all needs to be kept moist. Here is a video of our member JPG doing the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBaDcOBoHFk

That's right JPG and don't forget you can't park a company vehicle in the driveway that has any kind of sign on it! But where else can you go that every other street has a gulf access canal in your backyard!
1980 Mark V 500, 2 jointers, steel table bandsaw, new style bandsaw w/ fence, scroll saw, belt sander, biscuit joiner, shaper, 12" disc sander, and looking forward to upgrading to 510 table and fence!

Look again! Not all those canals connect to salt water! At least not when I was there! All those 'restrictions' are a reason I would never settle there!
Apparently there are too many old folks with nothing better to do than mind ah er meddle in others folks business. Not my cup of tea. Live and LET live is more to my liking!

Yes there are a few "go nowhere" freshwater canals. But gulf access is 90% of the canals. Some of these canals are so far inland that it takes up to 90 minutes or better to get to the caloosahatchee river and another 20 minutes to get to the gulf of Mexico. I am 40 minutes to the gulf, but I used to keep my cabin cruiser at Fort Myers beach in dry storage. It was on the gulf, so when you only had a couple hours to play you didn't waste it!

Another job well done! Keep the backup plate waxed. The belts like to remove it.
To say nothing of the satisfaction both right after and then again later when using it!!!!!:D
