<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 3434, member: 78"]Hi Mary,</p><p> Just a clarification about the rust. Red rust just means the rust is new. If you take a piece of iron 100 years old and has never been near water or humidity it will rust with a red or orange rust. If the object is old and has rusted it becomes black. So really black rust means old but red rust is new. An old item if it gets damaged can have red rust. Usually a new item that has rust trying to look old has red rust not black.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
