So here are pictures of the filiform corrosion that I felt needed F9. In retrospect I would have bought a 1 pound jar of it as well as the F7.
First pic is a close up on the worms- that weren't as obvious before stripping, and from a distance. I'm also at the point where one wonders how much time to put in removing every last worm .
From start to finish is 4 rounds of F9, then one of F7... then it got too windy- brrrrrr....

Yikes. I feel for you. And I see it in my future too...
On my last trailer I had the same problem. It took 10 - 15 passes with F7 and the compunder. Move the compounder very slow, like one inch per second. Clean the pad with a Pad Cleaner, or screwdriver often.
It will come out, but it takes at least 10 passes...

I have done just that, on the rear, with at least 10 passes! Did you go until it was perfectly clear, or did you leave a certain amount to be seen only by those knowing enough to look??

So don't judge by me. I promise I won't ever point it out to you!

Well, I decided I needed a reason to put off polishing , so I made a bunk bed!
I was previously considering the canvas sling with the simple bracket on the wall (as posted). However, because it would be a remodel, and I'm NOT taking furniture out to get into the wall with the pocket door- I didn't have anything to anchor the bracket to. I also don't know how well my daughter would sleep in a sling- she rustles so much as it is- and my goal is to help my toddler sleep better (less noise= the better).
Next: The Mission
Location: above center gaucho
1. Must be sturdy enough for 100 lb kid
2. Keep the gaucho- we like the couch
3. It must be removable, stow-able- & user friendly (EASY)
4. It must not alter the side panels or skin, so that if it is removed- it should be hard to tell it was ever there.
So, with out further ado, I present, my new bunk bed!!!
First Pic shows how it looks when bunk is stowed- behind the backrest of the gaucho. The rest, are in sequence of how it goes together:

What a clever bunk! What did you use for the panels?
I wanted to thank you for the tip about Harbor Freightl My husband's birthday was this week, and because he loves to polish things, I got him a polisher. It was a great hit! Of course I didn't get around to getting the kit, so tried a little Blue Magic. Not a cost effective solution, but it was fun to see some shine come through.
Thanks! I used left over plywood (3/4) for the side supports and bought a new piece of 1/2" for the bed. The rest of the money was hardware and the cushion.
My daughter has been in and out of it every day since it's been done! So that makes me happy. I also made a barrier that goes on the bottom to keep the toddler from hittin' the deck in the middle of the night.
Now to practice sleeping in it, to get him used to the unfamiliar surroundings- and I think we've got it made!

I debated being public about this, but if it helps anyone not repeat my accident, then I'll risk looking like a, well,: duh.
So, this morning I rolled out of bed and tied my hair back, as I normally do- in a ponytail (my hair is about 2 feet long). We are leaving next weekend for the NorCal rally, so this is our last weekend for major Airstream work. I was disappointed Saturday, as it rained out my polishing. Today's forecast was much of the same, so I put polishing off my list.
Much to my surprise the day turned sunny and beautiful, so I picked up the polisher and started in. My husband joined in later, but went in the house for a bit, and that's when my problem happened.
Apparently, the wind blew my hair into the polisher and I happened to be using the button that keeps power going while letting your finger off the trigger. In all the panic I could not turn it off. It wound my hair up so fast- there really wasn't time for thought. I screamed and the polisher hit my head as I dropped to the ground. At some point the damn thing went off- either by the GFI in the garage or, more likely, the impact of my fall hit the trigger.
At any rate, my son was outside and got my husband to take the polisher apart and get my hair out.
What really bugs me is that I'm usually pretty careful about my hair when I'm working with tools- mostly because it annoys me when it's in my way. I just didn't do it today.
My daughter's neighbor-friend (6 y/o) came out and said, as my husband is unwinding my hair, "Oh man, maybe your mom's gunna be bald." [Picture Frankenstein's unveiling] Thankfully, I'm not, I'm just sporting an egg on the side of my head.
So, don't let this happen to you- if you have any hair- put it in bag and duct tape it to your head. This *%#! hurts!!
(Sorry no pics)
