Okay, Drumguy, What I do for small parts such as tension rods is after they are rinsed with water (after Evaporust), place them in a large sieve and use a hair dryer on low heat. Shake the parts around a bit until they are dry and you're good to go! Hope I have been helpful, sir. Brian
Never thought of that. I don't have a hair dryer. Have no need for one hint hint. But I do have a heat gun. If I put it on low and don't hold it to close to the parts then it should work. Thanks salty.
