The group members applied Turco (rust remover as advised by Technical Consultant Engr. Bong de Leon, applied primer and finally paint. The straightened-out beds (courtesy of Engr. Bong's welders were, well, as good as new.

To my great bafflement, the students were giddy again, reporting on their work. Is there something of a spiritual experience in repairing old rusty beds?
