Anyone tried the liquid rust removal stuff?

[fabricator1]

Like the stuff they advertise that you soak parts in and they come out like new? Does any of it work very good?

 

[bjeep]

Yes. It works better than I figured it would. Turns the part a dark gray color with no rust. Just pitting left where the rust was.

What kind/brand ? Evapo rust?

 

[sappmann]

[bjeep]

WD40 Rust Soak is some amazing ****. I done a set of old exhaust manifolds. Couple gallons of the stuff and dropped them in and was amazed how clean they came out. :****:

Y'all ever tried just straight vinegar? Supposedly works excellent if you've got small enough parts to submerge them. Or a big enough container.

Re:

I've used vinegar and the zep brand stuff. The zep was way more expensive but worked well and quicker. There's some method with electricity and salt water but I haven't tried it.

Also like mentioned above only good if you can submerge. I used a spray once can't remember the name but it was a rust converter.

Evapo-rust works great. I use it at work fairly often. Just clean / degrease your parts before soaking.

Do you store it in a resealable plastic tub, and can it be used over and over?

 

[mike2.5]

I always just pour it back into the jug and reuse it. It is a yellow color when its new, when it turns black it is getting weak and wont do much.

I soaked a old 357 Colt my dad left in his Jeep that was rusted. It did a awesome job. I was not able to work the action before but after it was almost shootable.
