We have a vary large Ensign Valve from a dam (62-67 tons) and it will
be on display in a park.  Although the valve worked in the water,
exposing it to air/environment will create rust.  Do any one know what
you would put on to artifact to protect this large chuck of metal?   Was
thinking of the tannic acid mix with a coating of paste wax, but likely
something better out there on the market.  Thanks in advance.
