First i get all the rust off with a little hammer.
Then the steelbrush .
And at last i put them in de fryingpan to get all the air and moisture out.

wow , you fry up some mean looking horseshoes Willems lol lol they look very nicely restored now do you coat them with anything to keep them from
re-oxidizing ??
No it wont rust anymore.
Nice restoration work.
Wonder what became of the horse? LOL
>:tongue:
Nice looking color on them. Now they are ready to show. And they smell good and cooked lol
How long do you cook them? What temp? Seasonings? lol but seriously :) ...the heat turned 'em black and will stop the re-rusting?
I'm wondering if it's the hot oil that turns it black. Guys used to dip hot iron in oil to get that look. :thinkingabout: By boiling it, I'm thinking it seeps into every pour of the iron and flushes out the water (and chlorides?) The oil is in deep and that probably retards rusting for a long time. I have to sneak my wife's deep fryer out lolQuote:
