Thanks very much, Dave. I'm learning from this, and I appreciate that. Someone else mentioned "rust" on weld spots on yacht hardware. I have certainly seen plenty of examples of that. I always assumed (without knowing) that the culprit was the welding rods used. But clearly I overstated it in saying the ss doesn't rust (or corrode). I just spent a small fortune on new ss fittings for a sailboat (complete rebuild). . . the idea of it rusting sends me into hysterics.
