RE: Rust Removal the easy way




Vinegar works well also. I tried it on some stuck tooks. It took a few weeks, but it removed a lot of rust. Don't use it on soft metals though.

I went to a Seattle car show a few months back and learned of a way to
completely remove rust from parts that you can submerse in water. I tried it
out on some badly rusted brake drum assemblies that had been laying out in
the elements for several decades. I'm not a chemist or even really smart,
but this is like electrolysis and is so simple that even I can do it.
Basically, you use a soda wash that is available at your grocery store (not
baking soda) like Arm & Hammer, mix up a solution (doesn't need to be
precise), put your part in the solution, then hook up a battery charger so
that the positive is attached to a sacrificial piece of stainless steel and
the negative is hooked to the part you want to de-rust. Turn it on and leave
it. I tried it and can vouch for the process.

I contacted the magazine editor who published this gem and he said he had no
problems with me sharing it online. I have the scanned article, which is in
two pages, about 4 megabytes total. If you'd like me to send it to you,
contact me at waedison1@xxxxxxxxxxx

Gary, suggest you look this over and see if you want to post it on the tech
page.
