That's "rust", for you youngins. Hey, Elliott, by the way, do you actually know a way to prevent oxidation on springs? I was thinking about petroleum jelly, as it is good for lubrication, water repellent and is unexpensive. I have used it in gears from machines I use at work and it works wonders, but it is all metal on metal. Does petroleum jelly corrode plastic or it is all okay?
