Just for accuracy: Zinc doesn't rust easily, it's iron that rusts, which is why zinc is added to it to make it more long-lasting. A piece of pure zinc will tarnish (forming a layer of zinc carbonate), but this doesn't penetrate into the rest of the metal. Zinc solutions are used to make galvanized metals - that's what creates the mottled-crystalline appearance of galvanized steel, for instance; this coating protects the steel from rusting prematurely.
Kaycie D. grew up on the animated Disney movies of the 90's and the songs have been stuck in her head ever since. Though she is a born and bred Minnesotan, she received her BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design with a major in Animation and a minor in Illustration. She specializes in character design and is working on several large serial projects. Aside from art, she likes puppies, Julie Andrews, and singing loudly and off-key in public places.
