Materials
a long piece of metal; a car door (4’x4’)
a can of wax
a sander
Procedure
1. The metal will be divided into three sections.
2. The 1st section will be stripped down to the bare metal.
3. The 2nd section will just have paint.
4. The 3rd section will be covered in one layer of wax.
5. The metal will be exposed to the weather.
6. I will periodically examine it for damage or erosion.
