>>1679436If you just wrap it, it's gonna rust under the wrap. I don't know if that satisfies your autism but it certainly wouldn't satisfy mine. Any rust treatment you do to it will hold up on its own, even if it's permeable, because you're not really going to be getting it wet
I'd just spray and polish the rust bits with fish oil or even wd40 and leave it at that. It will neutralize them.
If you're worried about scraping the base... well maybe don't drag it around or use it on a piece of cardboard or something. Or attach some sort of feet. Even just put take on the bottom. Wrapping it is ridiculous.
And anon. Have you got a bike yet? Hows that going?
