Good morning again,

I'm wondering about the gear leg interiors and whether they were given any
corrosion protection during manufacter...probably not. Having drilled a hole in
each leg to accomodate the mouse trap springs, it seems possible for moisture to
creep into the legs over time. I'm thinking about drilling a small access hole in
the bottom of each leg for the purpose of injecting corrosion protection.

Is this a good idea and what corrosion product would be recommended?

Thanks,

Angier Ames
