How to weather sheet metal.

While wearing gloves lightly sand the entire piece of metal with steel wool. Let the metal sit for 24 hours covered in toilet cleaner and steel wool. Cover the hydrogen peroxide with a thin coat of salt so it interacts with the hydrogen peroxide. At our hardware store they sell 2 types.

For those of us with brown thumbs. I use boiled linseed oil on steel and cast iron items that are outside. These chairs are so cute. As you sprinkle the salt you can see it begin to work with the hydrogen peroxide.

Thanks for the tips for weatherproofing the outdoor metal furniture. Squirt clorox toilet cleaner all over the metal. I use it on wood quite a bit but i m not sure how well it protects the wood that is exposed to weather. I use boiled because it hardens faster than raw.

Use steel wool again to rub the toilet cleaner everywhere. I really liked the diy pillows they are very cute. It seems to help keep them from rusting and gives them a nice sheen.
