Hello Tim,
 
It looks like it is time to contact Bill Mason, also known as Dr. Rust, his
website is:
                                        _http://www.paleobond.com_
(http://www.paleobond.com)
 
He is a very friendly guy, just ask him for his meteorite-kit.
It will help with the Fukang. But maybe not with the Admire, depending on
how bad it is now.
Admire is another one of our infamous rusters.
Good luck.

Hello List Members,

I was hoping someone could help me with this one.
I have 2 pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire
and Fukang.

Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is there a
way
to clean
them up and seal it against any further rusting. I willing to try anything
new that might work.
Any ideas?

I live in St.Louis, its very humid here, I know this might be hard to stop.
