[SEL] Cast iron repair

[Steve Royster]

And if you don't want to paint, you can match rusty cast iron by walking 
over to your wire wheel on your work bench and scoop up a handfull of rust 
from the part you just finished wire brushing. Then sprinkle it on the JB 
weld while it's still tacky and work it in lightly with the 3M pad and when 
it dries you can linseed oil the whole thing and it looks the same!   From 
the shop of the Cloistered Oysters.
