Title: tool box cover seal
Post by JaniceM on 06/24/09 at 21:15:29

I took my cover off (got a new gel battery, because the original one was junk) and found it corroded inside.
I have been looking and thinking..no luck yet..any ideas on what to use after i clean it up to replace the worn weatherproofing seal? I looked at Lowe's for ideas, but everything was too thick. I don't like the way it locks, and will have nothing of great value in there, but I would like to save it 'just in case'.
Thanks!
Janice

Clean it up & wipe some Ospho in it. Available from Kelley Moore paints for $12.00ish. Thatll kill the rust. Get a piece of vacuum line & run an X-Acto blade the length of it, then stick the tubing on the edge of the lid. You may need some contact cement to convince it to stay & maybe some tape to hold it while the glue sets up.
The Ospho is a good thing to have around, its not like you would be tossing $12.00 on this one thing. Someone else may have a better idea for the cleanup, thats just the way Id do it, cuz I always have Ospho on the shelf.

I used that stuff the lowriders use as door trim... comes in chrome, gold, and black.
Black of course.... :-?
