Here's a story from "Uncle John's Ahh-Inspiring Bathroom Reader" that I'm sure a lot of tractor guys will enjoy reading: After spilling raw fish oil on his metal deck, a Scottish fishing boat captain named Robert Fergusson noticed that over time, the deck stopped rusting. So after he landed in New Orleans, Fergusson spent many years trying to formulate a fish-oil based paint that would inhibit rust and corrosion. His biggest problem wasn't getting it to work, but getting it to work without smelling fishy. Finally in 1921, after working with more fish oil than any person should ever have to, Fergusson unveiled a new paint that stopped rust, dried overnight, and left no lingering aroma. The product was RUSTOLEUM paint which many of us have used on our old iron projects. Just thought you might like to read that little story, sort of interesting.
