| Scale as it is set up at Antique Market. StrongArm is only sprayed on some of the dark areas where it is working into the white oxidation on the brass rails. | Here we see the spraying process as the StrongArmBrand slowly is applied onto the entire scale. Note how StrongArmBrand shoots a straight stream into the area of application, and doesn't have a "hair spray" and spray paint mist nozzle like other products, which loses the spray into the air as pollution instead of getting it onto where it's needed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Here we see the leg, foot and weights the following morning after the initial application where StrongArmBrand has now been on them overnight. Note that the rust and oxidation has totally collapsed and disappeared. The iron and brass can now be brushed with a wire brush and detailed. This scale will remain perfect for a decade indoors when placed as a collectors showpiece. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Des Moines Scale & Mfg. Co. on the above After picture. On the left, that name is not even visible or readable in the Before picture. The area is totally covered over with green oxidation. |
