So at school in science this term we are trying to do what you are trying to do. We are still in the middle of observing the iron nails but what i am using is:
- Vaseline
- nail polish -yeah, i know right!!!
- Sacraficial metal (you wrap it around the iron nail)
The way that is working the best at the moment is actually the nail polish!!!!
Hope ive helped :D
