Rust question
Is rust progressive? I.e once it has begun does it continue to spread and damage metal, even if it is no longer in the environment that caused the rust originally?
Apologies if this is a dumb question, I couldn’t find the answer by searching. I have a chassis that has a little bit of rust on it, along with some transformer frames and laminations. I wouldn’t say it was serious or deep, the set works and I’m not fussed on the visuals as it will be hidden away.
But I wondered if I should do anything preventative before putting it back in the cabinet, I.e to stop it getting worse.
It was stored in a damp environment for many years but is now in a dry heated home.
