Re: stuffing box paint recommendation
If it is all bronze and in your hands, bead blasted it and paint with a two part paint.
If it's in the bilge and just looks clean, grease the adjustment threads and leave it alone.
Of course, if it is in your hands, your replacing it with a new drip-less so my first comment may not apply.Last edited by Captain Ralph; 06-10-2022 at 11:30 AM.

Re: stuffing box paint recommendation
Spray Corrosion Block on it , but you have to keep after it . As the green occurs wire brush it off using vinegar, most white vinegar is 5% acidic. Amazon sells some that is 45%. But watch out , you might as well be using muriatic acid .
