[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 736772, member: 296628"] yes - i would second that -- the support ring and mount on mine was extremely pitted - i just removed anything loose or flakey with wire brush and coarse sandpaper --went over it twice with - kurust - (hammerite product also i think ) then gave it 2 coats of smooth black hammerite "direct to rust"-- nice finish - gives off strong vapours whilst drying though -- best done outdoors --- are you going to take the petals apart ? quote -but I'm wondering if the best way to deal with this is for 2 people to apply gentle pressure at the points where the dish was put under pressure as it fell between the wall and the fence " could be worth a try gently ------ i,m looking to make some time spare in a couple of days -- to call and photo and measure the polar mount while its down regards nelson.b.
