How to position part C, pole cap and what to spray it with to avoid rust

The pole cap is for the table (I think) when the umbrella isn't in use. I've had mine at least a year now; no rust. I didn't treat it or cover it.... most of the time the umbrella is in it, just down because of wind.

I lay the role next to the pole and extend paper to cover the pole. I then use gorilla duct tape to attach evenly, once attached I move the pole to other side of role and apply tape to underside. I then just roll the paper onto the pole. Hope that helps.

Suggest you contact Rust-Oleum for technical questions. However, I would personally use the product if the fiber glass top has already been primed and painted with automotive paint.

The directions specifically state to use a 50 grit sanding disc to prep the surface to bare metal. You cover all bare metal with the adhesive so you get no surface rust.

Hi Nathan, I agree with MOzarkian regarding the spray. I'd make sure to cover the entire piece, front and back well. I live in Florida, and we too decorate outside walls......clear sealant is my best friend!!! You might have less issue with rust as where you are it is a much drier climate.

The grill can rust,plus you want to keep the electrical parts of it dry.Its in your best interest to cover it.

I installed it that way a year ago. Make sure to coat anything rusty. Very impressed with products adhesion!

Use the metal prep. It will then adhere nicely to rusty and non rusty metal as well as painted surfaces. I used it on my 68 Cougar and it was awesome. I also used the por putty after I used the metal prep and there was no adhering issues.

on my second season now-pit spent the Summer put away; biggest help is to spot spray every tiny rust spot as they appear. cheap dollar store spray paint is fine, just don.t allow rust to get a grip

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit

Look elsewhere. Its not worth the trouble. Trust me. It was rusting after 6 months. I'll try to post a picture.

Hand washing is definitely the way to go. It will pit the metal and rust in spots if you go the dishwasher route.

I would clean the rust first by using a wire brush or sandpaper then wipe the surface. Then apply Plasti-Kote. Let it dry as it turns black. Then you can paint over it. Sand prior to painting if desired.

there was a threaded nut soldered into the base of mine. I just screwed the center post into it, put a drop of clear nail polish, and tightened it up. Mine works just fine. Hope this helped.

Wash normally, then take paper towels with a bit of oil and run plan to season pan after each washing. This will remove the rust and keep it oiled.

I would clean it with a Brillo pad, make sure it's rinsed good and then dry, and then protect the parts where the rust were with some car wax.
