Did a good cleaning on all my pipe a couple of months ago. Took all the pipe down and brushed it real good. The simgle wall where i touched it and the black come off on my hands is rusting now. Any ideas short of taking it back down an painting it.
it is 24 gauge pipe just surface rust. Pipe is one season old. Where the black paint turned to a powder residue and i handled it when i took the whole flue down to clean it the powder came off on my hands and its rusting there. No big deal. wd$) on a paper towel would be sufficent just really dont want that smell the first couple of burns this fall>
