Re: Rust proofing on a Daily??

Salt eats everything up no matter what you do. It's in the water and gets into the slightest crack or seam and eats between layers every time it gets wet. Just because it washed up in these crevasses doesn't mean it will wash out because it never catches a direct blast and the areas where it lays don't drain. The salt lies in the sediment left in voids. The sediment holds moisture. It makes it's own drain holes. If you try to seal all the seams,all it takes is one small breech and what you used to seal salt out will hold it in.
