Two steps forward, one step back is still progress


A large rainstorm blew through and was too much for the modest rust converter that was coating the sandblasted portion of the frame, so it all had to be blasted again.

The going was easier, of course, than the first time it was blasted, so it didn't take very long to get back the ground that was lost. Rather than risk this rusting, the part that was sandblasted was rust converted before then being quickly primed in with etching primer to seal and protect it.

The entire rear of the frame, save for the underside which will be done after this is flipped over, is under primer.

It's so much more work to blast this rather than do what some do and use a wire wheel disc and then a rust converter, but the results from sandblasting are so much better.
