when I first bought mine (new) I put some silicone caulking around the bottom seams. as of now there is a little bit of mildew growing in these areas (black stuff) and there are various places on the floor of the freezer where I have scratched the paint off and there is some rust forming. what is the best way to combat all of this? is there a special paint or something I could use?
how do you guys clean up the inside of your chest freezer ferm chamber?

Epoxy appliance paint would be the first thing I would think of. I have to do some touch up to mine as one seam is getting bad but I am not sure when I will... I need it empty first. Maybe once I go into rehab after all this WFH it can get fixed .

yeah - I know what you mean!
would I need to do anything to the little rust spots before I hit it with appliance paint? should I pull out the epoxy and use something to clean the little bit of mildew?

I would hit it with bleach then sand down the area some so it will help adhere and then spray.

oh - is appliance paint usually a spray?
I have a tiny chip on my stove that I wouldn't mind touching up while I'm at it.

There are rust converter paints out there that chemically bond to the rust. I have a few spray cans of it but haven't tackled the projects I bought it for. The kegerators are on the list.

Navel jelly would do it too.

Phosphoric acid is nice for rust removal. Here's what I was referring to

I think that link might explain why brewtan-b turns my strike water dark green/gray sometimes.

Thanks for those links... Looks like they might be the solution to a problem I need to address! (Not beer related!)

In the future on freezer keggerators and lagering chambers, use a dehydrator to brevent the creepin' crawlies (AKA black crud that grows there)

I'll clean the walls of the freezer with Spray Nine when I change out the damprid. It's one of the more laborious tasks, but it beats waiting until it's an issue.
Dont have a lick of rust in the freezer, and it's been running hard for 8 years.
