Avert your eyes. *G* It ain't pretty.

I let the swamp cooler go to pot. I thought I'd cleaned it up, but instead
I made it worse.

In summer I pulled the removeable panels off the swamp cooler, removed the
flaked paint with a brillo pad (or somesuch device) intending to remove the
batting and repaint. But when looking at the batting there didn't seem to
be any way to remove it. So I put the project on hold until I could get to
it, and this is what's the swamp cooler is like 5-6 months later.

Over the next few inages I'll show you what I mean. There is corrosion and
some sort of white buildup, which I think is what happens when the zinc
metal is exposed to the air/water/weather.
