Dry your cast iron before you prime! #restoration #diy #mechanic #repair #tractor #vintagetractor
I'm working on my grandfather's old tractor, and I'm at the point where I'm starting to prime the frame.
The entire frame just about, is made of cast iron, if you've ever worked with a cast iron skillet you'll know that cast iron can be very very porous and can soak up water like a sponge.
Before I hit it with the primer, I'm hitting it with a blowtorch to pull out the moisture.
The primer should soak in and replace where the water was.
