[@seanhammon6639]

Lekker man! YES!: video on creating the spider AND the hand!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Ok, cool, will make a plan down the line

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

I love the spider, nice man

[@sharndupreez1]

Déjà vu! 🤣👍🏻 This and the pool acid is the best tips ever!

[@ratrodsafrica]

First in real time, now digitally! 😅Happy if this kind of info can help to make a difference dude!

[@jesusgonzalez-qp2rf]

Of all your proyectos and i like them all this o e its my favorite. You may consider spray your rusty jewells with a mix of flat and shine clear it will mantain your look and will look great.

[@ScottW211]

“Patina Sauce”… I just bought and used it. Works great

[@ratrodsafrica]

That is not available here in SA. Could ship it in, but the boiled linseed oil is cheap and works very well for me. Maybe it's even the main ingredient in "Patina Sauce"?

[@crazywickedcustoms7272]

Love it thank you my friend

[@ratrodsafrica]

Happy, happy!😄

[@ishsiriram8286]

Thank you for the tip Dik. I always wondered what the difference was between raw and boiled linseed oil.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Happy to help. Ja, boiled linseed oil has dryers added, so cures quickly

[@davesweet7061]

Div i humbly correct you, peace and love

[@robertstevison1448]

Great information brother 👍 you always make things easy to understand !!! Awesome

[@ratrodsafrica]

Glad you think so!

[@jamesward5721]

I bang that mix into a cheap HVLP spray-gun and use it to spray it on - you can then run a rag over the flat sections, but the spray gets the oil into every nook & cranny, preventing those hidden areas from corroding. I have the gun marked as "Mix" & only use it for that. It's a real fast way of doing that ^. :-)

[@ratrodsafrica]

Not a bad idea!

[@donaldhalls2189]

Be great to see how you make the spider, have a Lekka one

[@ratrodsafrica]

Gonna have to do that video...

[@rianneliebregts3079]

Thanks for your clear explanations. I really like your channel. I have two questions: what if you applied linseed oil but later you have to weld something there. How do you get the bare metal back so you can weld it? Second question: Will the linseed oil also protect the metal enough when the car would always be parked outside, so it gets wet from the rain frequently?

[@ratrodsafrica]

You could probably weld right through it, but I would clean the spot with a flap disc or wire brush first. I have had cars at outdoor shows for few days where it rained overnight. No problem. But for cars standing outside, you will probably have to reapply quite often.

[@tattooeddude72]

yes do one for the spider and the web please

[@ratrodsafrica]

Will do it in the future!

[@MerlinNorman-ih8xx]

Kick ass spider! More more more.

[@brianhaw9398]

Is S.A. a dry climate or humid? Another KZbinr I watch has a bare metal '36 Chevy and seems to need to strip and reapply clearcoat quite often but it's humid here in Southern Ontario. 👍🇨🇦

[@ratrodsafrica]

We have many different climates within SA. Brian Where I live (Garden Route area) it can be quite humid, but further inland in the Karoo it is very dry. Personally I hate clear coat, its just a pain! The linseed method works much better for me.

[@c10etc]

Does it have an odor? Need to use it on interior panels.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Nothing that's unpleasant 🙂

[@jodycopeland1]

Friend of mine had a barrel with some rags that combusted burned his shop

[@ratrodsafrica]

I believe that has happened to some yes!

[@FirstName-qq6rq]

Hi, what type of oil is it? I did not catch that in the video, it is hard to understand :) I am interested, especially if that oil is not leaving the oil, sticky surface. Thank you.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Boiled linseed oil

[@robertchall8576]

Thats what the farmers used on there plows when they put them up for the winter.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Farmers knows stuff!😀

[@johnnymac1580]

What did you do in a previous life ⚡️

[@ratrodsafrica]

Many things! Woodworker, boat builder, fabricator, business owner to name a few

[@deankay4434]

Yes, I am interested in purchasing 2 "BullShit" meters but at a range of 10 Fecal hZ, because it does get quite deep here in steer, cow & Bull country! Please share a link to you skeleton hand headlamp holder as well as the spider web & spider assembly. These things maybe useful if asked to run for a government office. I hope to scare them off as I run away from the DC government here as most of them sleep in coffins and come out to govern and make laws to spend money on bugs, butterflies and bait fishes! Thanks Dov. Enjoy also, I do. DK, Omaha. P.S. when you stop hearing from me, it means I am no longer among the living. 😮

[@ratrodsafrica]

Haha, the range of bullshit meters needs increasing everywhere these days! I have yet to make a video about the skeleton hand and the spider... Its on the list, just gotta find the time...

[@deankay4434]

@@ratrodsafrica I truly think it is very interesting art as several types of metals are used. You have steel, silver solder, copper and a we little stick of magic in there! It is great...

[@djscrews]

You can tune a piano but you cant tuna fish... But you can tune a patina? 😆

[@mortimerschnerd3846]

I'll pass on the spider (arachnophobia).

[@ratrodsafrica]

😅👍

[@502days]

Not sure what linseed oil your using hey because I've got a bare metal car on the coast and it's rust in the rain must be the gaffers flushing the oil refinery stacks out of the night time fkin gaffers hey mate ruin my bare metal car hey..

[@ratrodsafrica]

Plain old boiled linseed oil. But coastal air and acid rain or that kind of stuff will be a problem...
