That's what happened to Grandpa when he sat on the front porch swing too long. He became Rusticated to the seat!

*sigh* my husband showed me his tools suffering from "rustification" now he wants all new ones!

Saw an example yesterday..10 riding lawn mowers left in the yard when they quit running.  They became Rustified when they exceeded their grass limits. 

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers I don't know, my brain is a little rusty this morning.

My face would be a perfect example!

It's another process that goes just beyond the surface.  

Is that what you call the impact of my advanced years? I have to admit that I am a bit rusty.

It's what happens when your can of Rust Oleum fails you like this:

Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 have this one with a big smile 

I am not a mason so I lack the technique to contrast the texture!

Please do not add water at this time.

When some one moves in an upscale area with an old rust bucket of a car? As I type this one of my builders walked in and sees me laughing at myself and said his answer is "something to do with bricks". Although not as witty as mine, i trust his will be more right.

Add "The" before Rustication and another word ending with "ion" after Rustication and you will have the title of a not yet filmed Big Bang Theory episode.

There are some great answers. 

A masonry technique.

It is what is happening to my car!

A little WD-40 will fix that.

We saw a lot of this in Charleston last week.

I did much better with landscaping questions I guess.

I'm old and "rusty" due to "rustification"

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers - well, learned from some answers - and had a laugh, too.

Sometimes it is decorative process, more often just the oxidation of neglect.

Has to do with  OLD,  TOOLS that sit out in the rain.
