Keith,
Dave Harvey has said it very clearly and said it well. As a horological conservator, I also work with ferrous metals (as well as
others) and I absolutely agree with what Dave has said. There is no perfect coating: coatings fail. Removal of the coating can be
more damaging than doing nothing.
Regards,
Jim Moss
