Here's a thread with the poster having a similar issue with one of their brite tanks https://discussions.probrewer.com/showthread.php?30355-Rust-streaks-in-tanks-following-passivation In their case, the white streaks are in the material and they cannot get them off, but it hasn't caused them...

I followed the BKF instructions, and limited the contact time to 1 minute per scrubbing session before rinsing. I scrubbed the floor 4 times, the walls once, and the ceiling and post centers once as well. Overall it did a pretty good job, but there are still these little white flecks all over...

That's a really good idea, why didn't I think of that?

The main thing that I'm after is to free up the conduit to run extra wires for the temperature sensors, and running them to a place that keeps the fridge free from wires, and with a clean look in general. These need to make it into the fridge regardless of how I control the compressor though...

I'm converting a smaller, but full-size fridge to a fermentation chamber and hit my first major obstacle that I haven't found on any formus. Beside the compressor, there is what looks like a black rubber stopper that all the wiring goes into on its way to the thermostat (pictures below). I want...
