Subject: Re: Steel cylinder internal rust
Global #42220  is a liquid O2 rust inhibitor wash used in the final rinse after
tumbling.

It is not a "Grease" swabbed onto the cylinder walls as the original question
posed ~ Believe it or not, some people are stupid enough to try this.  I have
seen it.  Silicone once and "Crisco Shortening" another...

Regards,

Jer
