Got Rust?

[johnnycnc]

I do! I'd like to share a great product with you all,
it is Evapo Rust. If you have old, rusty, crusty tools, this is a relatively low cost, low toxicity, good performing product.
It works best as a soak. (can be used as a spray, they say).

I got some of this for tools after our '08 flood, and it REALLY works.
Recently my son became interested in my reloading days, and we are setting about reviving that pastime. I dug around and found some
pretty cruddy stuff I had missed after cleaning up the more valuable tools..

I have a before pic of a reloading die:

and the stuff I'll be using:

I'll let it soak for a few hours and post later to show results.
Some things take longer than others.

Here is the place I got it:

If you need to de-rust..this is easy, it works and it is low to no smell.
I know nobody besides me has rusty tools, but it is worth sharing anyhoo!:biggrin:

Hi John

That stuff is great, I've been refurbishing 100 year old hand planes with Evapo-rust for a few years now. The best part is it doesn't damage any of the metal or finish. I'm soaking some WW II era plane parts now.

Hi Richard,
I hope all is well with you.
I'm glad you are getting good results with it, too.

Ok,
2.5 hrs of soaking later, and here it is..same die, no scrubbing or fussing with it;

I'll rinse it with some oil, and wipe it down. It is ready to use again.

I'm tired today, so this was a perfect show and tell for this evening.:wink:

Great example of information sharing among IAP members. Thank You, John.

I trust you don't need any of this 'stuff' for your creaky ole bones ... especially after the gas station incident! :bulgy-eyes:

BTW, I am thoroughly enjoying the live center I recently obtained from you as well as the other items. Thanks for the excellent service!

My first experience with Evapo Rust was a couple of years ago while restoring some rusty hand planes.

The stuff works great, but it's tricky to find.

I searched for a local supplier, through all the reasonable channels and came up empty.

Then surprise surprise, I found it on the shelf at my local Harbor Freight store.

I recommend this product as a weapon in the battle against rust.

Rust on Lathe Bed

I have had my Lathe in storage for about 6 months while we have been doing an addition to our house. It and my bandsaw were brought back in this week to the new garage. Both have some rust on the bed.

I am looking for suggestions for products I can use to remove it with out damaging the beds.

Thanks
