Cybersist Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 So I have this friend that came up with the idea of using Rust-oluem rust preventative on his hookah's base to stop rust. We both have stargates so I too have a metal base and want the rust protection, but am hesitant about using such a product on a hookah. As much as I want to do all I can to prevent rust, spray paint does not sound like the best idea....Other ideas, comments, suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It can get into the water, and then into the smoke, and then into your lungs. That's what i would say, but i'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersist Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Doing a bit of research: RustOleum has a high heat spray made of grills. The spray is good up to 1200 F plus has rust protection. And naturally, grills are constantly in contact with food, so it is safe in that aspect. Temperature protection is not really a big concern since it will be in water.I'm still looking for opinions on this idea. Still a bit hesitant about the whole thing.EDIT: The grill paint is not approved to be in contact with food. How about resin, the type you can preserve things in, like leaves and bugs and such?

gaia.plateau Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Seems like a cosmically bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 seems like if your hookah is rusting you need to take beter care of it or get a new hookah, or both!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersist Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Mines not rusting because I take the time to blow dry the thing out after every session. My friends on the other hand is starting to show signs of rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speel Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 thhis might sound odd but try to use some petrolum jelly, you know like vasaline or somthing and cover the areas so they dont come in contact with water.. then again i might just be to imaginative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
