Instead of taking this completely rusted iron candle holder to the metal recycle shop, it now sits on our deck looking quite spiffy.
Just scrub old iron down with a wire brush or steel wool, then wash with warm soaping water. Let dry thoroughly. Finally spray with a rust-resistant paint.
Wah-lah! A beautiful new piece.
Love to hear any quick and easy ideas you have for recycling old material.
I have an old Witch's pot made of iron (I use it as an outdoor planter)…anyway…it needs a redo. Thanks for the info.
