    Default Chain


    Anyone know of anything you can "dip" your chain that you use for trolln, to keep it from rusting? Any ideas of a coating that someone has used with success?

    I bought a pail of zinc plated 3/8" of 15 feet at Harbor Freight for $25 or so. Zinc plating is supposed to prevent rust so I have heard.
