    I confess, at last, to my ongoing puzzlement about all the
    instructions on drying non-stainless shot to prevent rust. Where I
    teach, we had plain shot for many years. We never dried it. As long
    as it all stayed immersed in the soapy water, it never rusted-- it
    only rusted when it got stuck in the rim of the tub, or the liquid
    level in the tub fell below the top of the shot. And then, as John
    Burgess said, we just ran it until clean. We have always used Rio
    Sunsheen, I believe, for what it's worth. So, why dry it? Was our
    experience anomalous? Thanks, 

--Noel
