Cor 10 Rust is a Feature, not a Bug

Quoted text begins.I always wondered why so many sculptors used Cor 10 when it rusted
so quickly.
Not working in steel, I never bothered to find out, but I'm glad I
got that bit of information accidentally here.
End of quote.

Hey, wait a minute, you're reading an invalid assessment into the
conversation here - Corten was designed as a ferrous medium that rusts on
the surface and then stops rusting, assuming certain conditions (zero
surface abrasion, etc.). It was designed to be a non-stainless steel
alternative (and hence, less expensive) for the bridge builders that rusts
upon initial exposure to the atmosphere and then stabilizes at the surface
interface, and that is a significant improvement over normal steel. If one
is looking for a steel medium without the 'coldness' of stainless steel,
then this product is a viable alternative, as Richard Serra, et al have
discovered. I know I am violating the rule regarding 'spokenstone' here but
after all, we are all artists, yes?

Clive, could you use some very thin membrane that is not applied as a
liquid? Say plastic, or teflon, or something with similar hydrophobic
properties?

Good Luck,

Chaz
