order the
amount of
inhibitor
you need…
as a rule of thumb, it
takes about 2 gallons
to treat a hmmwv…
and rust inhibitor won’t harm
painted surfaces, plastics, rubber,
glass or wiring, but it’ll make them
shine for a week or two.
as you can see,
that
ruins
your
camouflage, so keep
it off the paint on
the outside of your
equipment.
rust inhibitor is
petroleum-based
and contains no
hazardous material.
but the headshed
still recommends
that you wear
a respirator,
goggles and
gloves when
applying it because
of possible
irritation to your
respiratory tract
or skin.
…and up to 3
gallons for a 2
1
/
2-
ton or 5-ton truck.
Counteract Corrosion
±
•±
Paint or lube unprotected
surfaces. Unprotected surfaces
can corrode.
•±
Keep your equipment clean.
•±
Lube like the lube orders
prescribe to prevent rust
and
premature replacement of pins
and assemblies.
here are a
few other
things you
can do to cut
back on your
equipment’s
corrosion…
keep drain holes
unclogged. that
way, water has
less of a chance
to collect and
cause rust.
a corrosion fighter
must actively seek
out those areas
where water can be
trapped and get rid
of it!
coatings such as paint,
grease, preservatives,
oil, etc., provide the
best lines of defense
against corrosion.
an unprotected
surface needs to
be repainted or
recoated asap!
Clean
your
weapon’s
barrel
after
firing.
