I haven't had that problem; you may have had a bad batch.

So, when the rings get rusty even that rust sitting on the glass-
[Aajonus]
It'll fall down and flake down into your food.

Just like the discoloration with rust I should just stop using it?
[Aajonus]
Absolutely, if I get a scratch if the enamel scratches, then I don't use it.
[Attendee]
Same with the metal ones if you get a scratch?
[Aajonus]
I don't even use the metal ones cause that'll flake right into your food. I use the enamel tops. The plastic don't seal as well.

Where do you get your enamel tops?
[Aajonus]
On the internet I found a place.
[Kathy]
Can you give us their number?

I remember when I first met you, I had a red mark on my hand..
[Aajonus]
Eczema.

Was it from metal... jars...
[Aajonus]
Now you're talking about this rim right here?
[Attendee #2]
Like right on the inside, the flat top part.

Okay, I've never had that problem because I don't let it get wet and I dry them instantly. I do not let them sit. Any of these will rust, hand dry them. If I wash them, I instantly take my towel and dry them with it because they will rust.
