Each engraved test plate received a generous application of
the appropriate rust protection product.
The test plates were then inclined at the specified 5 degrees.
The Weatherpruf product stained the plastic table cloth with an
amber/orange stain and may not be acceptable where staining
may be a concern. None of the other products caused a stain.
A light saline spray will be applied to the test plates four times
per week.
