BobP Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Unless it's stainless, it probably will rust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Unless it says "stainless steel" somewhere on the package it's more than likely plain carbon steel which will most definitely rust. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzyjunyer Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 annealed steel is regular carbon steel that has gone thought a heat treating process to make it easier to work with. Since it isnt a stainless it will rust out on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 One quick way to find out if it will rust is to put a piece of it in salt water overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
