I believe the screen was terne plated. That is coated in lead. I have one that is decent and after a treatment in rust away the surface rust is gone in the 30% or so of light surface rust that was there.
How have you refinished them? What have you done and how well did it work?
I have to state I am not interested in show level, but future rust prevention.
I was thinking of a few ideas. My concern is not having the holes plug up.
A small tank of lead and dipping and letting it sit long enough to come up to temp. Then quickly taking out of the lead then wacking a plate to get the excess lead off and open the holes. There may have to be some flux involved at some point.
I also have tinning butter. Rub it on and bring it up to temp and then wack it on a plate to clear holes.
