Crowntainer and Bock Can resto attempt

#1

Post by RustnStuff »

Crowntainer's are tough to clean up, but I figured I would take a chance on this one that I bought off fellow RBer, MarkfromIndy, last week. I softened up the paint spills with Neverdull, then took a new razor blade and carefully removed the drips of paint that had been splattered on it over it's 60+ year life.
The Schmidt's bock had a massive hole, but the face and back were pretty clean and I couldn't get myself to toss it. So I cut out a piece from a donor can, slid it inside the bock can and glued it tight to the inside. Then I applied a layer of glue and sprinkled color matching rust over it. At least it will fill a hole in the shelf until I come across a better one.

Great job. Adding structural integrity to a can at times can be daunting. Your idea of using another can inside is a good method for very large "open spaces".

I know this is an old thread but I’m glad to see people have way to patch up holes. I was wondering if that would be a possibility for some of the dumpers we have found and cleaned
