| Anodized aluminum mast maintenance
I am in the process of inspecting my rig. I have a lot of the hardware like halyard exit sheaves, and rigging out. I was wondering if something should be done with anodized aluminum mast. Is there a polishing or buffing compound that I can apply to anodized aluminum that protects it from damage and oxidation. I am using lanocote on spreader tips, and tefgel on machine screws into aluminum. Lanocote is well reccomended but it leaves a greasy film which attracts dirt so I wouldnt apply it the entire length of the mast. Petar |
