The non-uniformity of the Evaporust action that occured on Norm's blaster barrel happened because you let the part become partially non-submerged. Evaporust is mostly water, so it will evaporate and decrease in volume. The water/air interface of the evaporust is intensely reactive, and will etch a strong line into steel parts. I learned this the hard way, when I etched a hard hard line into a set of 1895 Starrett Jenny calipers by letting them sit half submerged in a ziplock bag.
If you care for the finish to remain uniform, you MUST absolutely ensure that the part stays submerged during the entire process.
Keeping the part in the Evaporust for 3 days is fine, but not if you let it evaporate to the point where the part breaches the surface.

Yes!!! This is super important! I one of my machinist jacks has a deeply etched line in it for this reason.

David Cortesi

Ohhh... "The water/air interface of the evaporust is intensely reactive" -- what would happen if you had air bubbling through it? Would an aerated mix work faster?

Jon Anderson

3y↑22

@David Cortesi it might work faster, but only because it might mechanically remove some rust.

Kevin Bauer

3y↑30

Been there, didn't scar anything as cool!

Tip, put the part in a ziplock bag and drive the air out.

Potential tip, because I think it would help on heavy rust, but have not tried- EvapoRust in an ultrasonic bath, or the ziplock in a water bath.

Evaporust is awesome. While my dad was in the hospital, a water leak filled the drawers of his tool chest. All of his nice socket sets were fully submerged for weeks. As soon as i discovered it, i bought a big jug of evaporust and let them sit for a few days. They all came out completely rust free and good as new. He has since passed away and I inherited his tools. I'm reminded of good memories working in the shop with my dad every time I use those sockets.

I have been using Evaporust quite a bit and it’s a great product. Yesterday when I was using it, I inadvertently placed my plastic container over a neodymium magnet - the liquid was as clear as new after 24 hours as all the peeled-off metal had been picked up my the magnet. Try it…

TOOL TIP BONUS: WHEN SAVING THE LIQUID, PUT THE DIRTY STUFF IN A CLEAR, SEALED CONTAINER AND SET ASIDE FOR A FEW DAYS TO LET THE MUCK SETTLE TO THE BOTTOM BEFORE POURING IT BACK IN THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER. WORKS GREAT WITH PAINT THINNER TOO!

@Jamez Grimm you don't find that the filtered Evaporust still degrades the remaining new stuff in the original bottle?

I read on the website that partial quantities of Evaporust "MUST NOT be returned to the bottle once used. Doing so will degrade the unused product and eventually ruin it completely."

I've used white vinegar for years on everything you can imagine and find it worked better than anything else. Sometimes it may take a few days but it's always returned the metal back to being rust free. Try something like that spring in some vinegar and see what ya think. Miss you guys, thank God for reruns lol!

47w↑2

Do you dilute with water and have a suggestion on ratio? Im going to give it a try

Governor

47w↑9

@guerrilla I just use straight white vinegar. Mostly on old tools so with a shallow tray I only use a gallon. If it's a big item try to find a container roughly the same size. Sometimes it may just take a day or so but heavily rusted things may need a week or better. It'll go from clear to looking like a brownie mix. Salt can be used with vinegar to speed it up too. I wire brush afterwards and put the tools in a baking soda and water mix to neutralize the acid. From there I rinse in hot water (so it will dry quicker,) sand if necessary, and paint. If you don't want to paint then I've had good luck using air filter spray oil to keep things from getting rusty.

guerrilla

47w↑3

@Governor I appreciate that, Im going to try it out. For the container I have a heavy contractor trash bag I will use that should hold it and an old trash can incase it leaks, and will be able to use for awkward shaped tools as well and should be able to reuse that same bag everytime. Then just reuse that same vinegar until its not effective anymore. I am going to use CLP to polish it up, I use as my hunting rifle lubricant/cleaner. CLP stands for cleaner, lubricant, preservative so that should work for my tools as well. Im restoring my old well digger so hopefully it gets the inside too

Governor

47w↑3

@guerrilla sounds good except you'll probably wind up just using a new bag every time and I don't imagine you'd wanna reuse the vinegar. Depending on how rusty the part is, and how long you soak it, the vinegar will be pretty funky. I've soaked some very old tools with no visible markings, like some 100+yr old ax heads, and the top layer of the vinegar looked like an overcooked pizza with big rusty-yellow bubbles. Afterwards though I could see the makers stamp.

For some items, the Evaporust is great, for some other items such as that spring that is heavily rusted, I prefer to use electrolysis. Evaporust is quite expensive, but it lasts quite a long time. Electrolysis is quite cheap, but the setup and cleanup takes time.(Doesn't everyone have a 12volt battery charger and some washing soda?)

I was a real skeptic about this, but I'm convinced. I cleaned up a bunch of tools that had been left in the rain and it worked like advertised. They still required some polishing, but all of the rust was gone. Thanks!

This video convinced you?

jim bayler

2y↑5

With parts as rusty as that spring, you have to combine a mechanical action (as in knocking off the outer layers of rust), with the EVAPO-RUST, so that the Evapo-rust can penetrate. You will have much more complete removal if you do both.

I discovered this stuff about a year ago and it has become my go-to whenever I have anything that needs to be made rust-free. I've even had good luck soaking paper towels in it and then wraping the towel around rusty objects and waiting several hours. In most cases you don't need to wait overnight, just a couple of hours will remove all but the thickest, most stubborn rust! Obviously it won't fill in pits, but it will remove the rust that caused them!

John Kemas

Great demonstration! It works even faster when periodically agitated or brushed with a stiff brush like a bronze brush. As others have mentioned you have to keep the part submerged. Also works well in vibratory/bubble cleaning tank I built. If all the rust doesn't come off the first time, brush the part as clean as you can get it and throw it back in for round 2. I used it to clean some anodized parts/fittings from 80-20 that been badly rust stained from the hardware bolts rusting in the open outside weather. The mount plates and corner angles cleaned up nicely but getting rust soaked into anodizing finish is a tough case. I need to find a source of stainless bolts to work with the 80-20 or T-Slots systems for outside use.

Evapo-Rust is amazing! I've tried out so many different rust removers (and preventers) since moving to coastal Texas, where the unrelenting humidity has sometimes even started to rust brand-new tools prior to even opening the packaging, and there's nothing I've liked better than Evapo-Rust…it outperforms even those products that burn any unprotected eyes and lungs that dared to venture too close to an open container of them, and yet it's not irritating to handle or be around at all.

If you haven't tried yet, I recommend filling up an ultrasonic parts washer with undiluted Evapo-Rust at a warm, but not too hot (like some others have mentioned, it has a high water content and is prone to evaporation), depending on the heat-sensitivity of the material that you're restoring, I've found that ≈35-50ºC tends to be a good temperature. In my experience, when soaking in an ultrasonic washer, you'll remove the same amount of rust in about 30 minutes to 2 hours as you'd remove in a traditional soak in 24-48 hours, while still leaving the finish unharmed (save for any etching from the rust itself, of course). It takes care of most of the post-soak wiping/brushing for you, too. Within moments of turning the ultrasonic machine on, visible clouds of rust start to rise off the part's surface, which is a satisfying bonus to watch, haha.

Also, if you are okay (or would prefer) with a little bit of surface refinishing, I've found that the Roloc-style bristle discs, along with their rotary tool equivalent for tight areas, are an absolutely incredible for rust removal (as well as polishing, heavy cleaning, and deburring), with minimal removal of the base material, especially on irregular or intricate surfaces that are normally time-consuming to get good coverage of (like the spring in this video). They seem to be more durable that a typical wire brush, while leaving fewer marks on the surface you're restoring. The combination of Evapo-Rust and bristle discs has allowed me to restore and reuse parts that I would never have imagined were worth attempting to salvage before discovering these products.

Hey Adam I’ve been using this evaporust since 2020 doing restoration work on a 1974 Porsche 911 and I’ve used it on numerous parts and it really works great go and let them soak and sometimes some of them I scrub with a steel brush and then put back in the evapo rust solution and it works great to get rid of the rust before painting. It works great for me that I found.

@Shad0wBoxxer how much rust do you need to remove? If it’s substantial then you will probably have to re-blue the firearm. If it’s a light rust try some Flitz polish. Just apply with a clean non abrasive cloth, leave for 15 minutes, and polish off. It may even improve any bluing that you have remaining on the gun.

I've been using this for years, I got it through Lee Valley and it's a great product. I've suspended items in solution so that the chemical can react with the maximum surface area. Your rusted spring might be better if you had a way to either extend it during immersion or place it in a glass beaker with solution, and then inside an ultrasonic cleaner.

I would have liked it if you mentioned that the solution is finally expended when it becomes 'black'. It helps to know that.

Balmori ́s HanGarage & Studio

Thank you Ed, I just asked that question to Adam! so, have you used this product with an ultrasonic cleaner? it´s "safe" for the cleaner? does the product has the same "life" using the cleaner or expends sooner?

Sorry, I didn't realise that someone responded to my post. The quick answer is, 'No, I've never used this product in an ultrasonic cleaner. I tend to not experiment with products as a precaution against voiding the warranty or otherwise causing damage in the process. I do warm the product up in a hot water bath, to help it along though.

I've been using this stuff for about 6 years. Really good. Some parts I thought would never come apart eventually did after soaking for a few weeks. It's also really good for getting at rust you can't physically get to like rust down in holes. It's called "rust chelation" if you want to learn more about this chemical process.

Not that exited about the spring,I’ve used the product it’s just ok,there was still visible rust clumps and it’s not really that reusable

mfritch

Here are a couple other ideas for using this. I would get an old piece of terry cloth or a cellulose kitchen counter wiper and wrap the part in it if you can. Submersion is important, but this would be a safety where the cloth will wick up the liquid and keep it moistened if the level drops. I also wonder what the results would be if you used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner. It seems like it could be a really good combo approach.

I had some vicegrips that were outside rusted solid. What sold me was after a day in that stuff, you could actually turn the adjusting screw easily right out of the liquid. It's definitely a product I'll buy for life. Works great on Chrome stuff!

Adam, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this tool tip. This stuff is ridiculous. I bought a small bottle to test with and oh my god. I used it on miscellaneous tools and it worked great, but then I tried it on a pair of linesman's pliers that my daughter had dug up in the back yard that looked like it had been in the ground since the early 70's when the house was built. Totally covered in rust, frozen solid, surely a lost cause...it took a few nights in the Evapo-Rust, but other than some pitting in the handles, the thing works like new. Now I'm running around looking for rusty things. I know I sound like a commercial, but so what? It works.

Acetone is a wonderful rust remover, I've discovered. Also, those sheet rock sanding blocks work great for scrubbing off rust. CLR bathroom cleaner (not the scale remover kind we're all used to) also works well for some reason.

Kryptonite 365

good to know. i have some chrome drum hardware sitting in diluted clr bathroom cleaner right now

pete

@Kryptonite 365 hope it works out! I know chrome can be a bit of a different beast, since it's a coating over what's rusting, AFAIK. The things I said are mainly for steels of various sorts. I imagine rusty drum hardware is as annoying to drummer as getting rust on the strings is to bassists.

Kryptonite 365

@pete it worked fine. if nothing else, it got a lot of the scummy build up off. but i still had to take steel wool to the most affected areas. this is what you get when you buy neglected equipment to make an acoustic-to-electric conversion drum kit lol it's par for the course

pete

2y↑1

@Kryptonite 365 true. I've found that the green scrub pads work just as well on rust if they have some cleaner available, and don't scratch quite as bad as steel wool. If you need a shiny surface afterwards, the drywall sanding blocks come in handy for doing that, although you're not going to get a mirror polish... and if the rust has gotten any deeper than surface rust, it's always going to be discolored, at least in my experience. Still, sometimes it's worth it to sacrifice some looks to get something a bit cheaper. Can always take out as much as you can, hit it with rustoleum clear and call it shabby retro chic or what have you, lol.

I suppose it's also worth mentioning that the evaporust he's got really is fantastic, as well.

I used to work at a hardware store and about 2007 I had found this stuff. I wanted to make a good demonstration piece for the store so they would stock it. I used an old iron pipe flange which had been outside for several years and was pretty rusty. I left it suspended in the evaporust about halfway on the diameter and brought the piece in to show my coworkers, They were amazed at the difference and the plumbing dept. woman even noted that the crayon that she used to mark the price on the flange had been exposed again, without any harm to that writing. I wasn't even aware that I had bought the flange there in the first place but she recognized her writing! it has been stocked in the store ever since. love this stuff

I first saw this years ago on american pickers. It does work very well but I have found that some older steel like old wrenches will turn black. It might be the difference in iron content in the metal or the plating. You can also drip soak hard to remove fasteners with it to aid in removal.

Old-school carbon steel often forms a black surface, newer alloy steels use far less carbon and so they come out of the tank 'brighter'.

Wooley689

I'll have to get some of this. I have some railroad spikes that I was planning to make into a coat rack/wall hook thing. They were rusty already but they were in a bin with some automotive fluids and somehow my bottle of coolant leaked everywhere and that added to the rust significantly. I kind of liked their original rusty look but they are beyond rusty now. Probably removing the rust and then painting them black is what I'll end up doing.

However, it will strip bluing or any oxide type of finish. It will also turn certain steels gray/dark, specifically high carbon steels IIRC.

It is the main ingredient in Naval Jelly rust remover and works much faster but doesn't stay put if applied to a part instead of soaking. It can be had at Home Depot usually. Caveat: don't use any rust remover on blued firearms unless you like them in the white.

Denture cleaning tablets work great for de-yellowing plastics I find. Plus it's usually minty fresh.

For hydrogen peroxide de-yellowing UV light can be substituted by elevated temperature of the liquid. Hydrogen peroxide makes oxygen, which needs energy to break up the organic compounds that turn plastics yellow. Sodium percarbonate can be used as a reasonably cheap source of hydrogen peroxide to make a bath of it. Paste and UV light is better / easier for large parts.

Old military ammo cans are great to keep Evaporust in. Make sure that the rubber gasket is still in the lid of the can.
Another option I often use for rust removal (also good to clean brass and copper parts that are corroded or tarnished) is citric acid and hot water. I add a table spoon full or two in a gallon of water in a crock pot. Leaving steel parts in this too long will discolor and pit the metal. But checking your part every five or ten minutes will save you some headaches. I use this mixture a LOT when restoring old Coleman stoves, lanterns and lamps. :)

I actually did an old Wilton bench vise that had been left out in the weather for years. It took off the rust but not the Blue Wilton paint. This stuff is awesome.

Nice find :-) That is the carbon from the rusted steel you are wiping off. I sold commercial containers of it starting around 2000 I think. I had lots of help from the plant where it was made and the brilliant chemist who invented it and a number of other cool things that used similar principles. I suppose you have noticed that if a part is not submerged you can get a cut-line where oxygen in the air and water form oxides at the waterline and the chelating agent keeps pulling it off! Also a not for restoration of some things. If you soak old nickel plated parts the nickel can came off like a slime! They told me it is because the plating methods used - I was doing a watch maker's lathe from the 1912 or so - left many microscopic holes in the coating. The holes are big enough for air to get in and for rust under the nickel. Evaporust with its surfactants gets in those same holes easily and removes the oxides. There are so many holes that it actually gets all the rust and the nickel slides off! Also don't touch anything with blueing or parkerizing or other oxide treatments or you will leave a permanent fingerprint. Evaporust also has interesting abilities to remove the oxides from the surface of wood, like tool handles. Something about the electrochemistry I guess and those electronegativity relations that no one remembers from high school chem.

Finally Adam, I am appalled to hear you use the recent abomination "use case" and set such a bad example for the youth of Youtube! I hope you at least mentally hyphenate! Please help stamp out the use of use case in the many cases in which is it used (or stored?). I think in most use cases, "case" is sufficient. Or "example". Or "uses".

"Use case" is so egregious that it eclipses "edge case" and "corner case" used as substitutes for "boundary conditions" which is a fine mathematical term.

I forgot. They sell oil drums with I think 35 gallons of Evaporust and they are meant for dunking engine blocks and similar objects.

Thanks, Adam. I’ll have to try this product. A solution using food grade citric acid (e.g., Milliard) and warm water is also great to remove rust. Also removes zinc coatings to ‘relic’ nuts and bolts for projects. But don’t leave too long or it can go beyond just removing the rust.😑

I've found a 5% citric acid bath solution overnight attacks the rust but does not noticably affect steel. Given that is also non-toxic, relatively safe and considerably cheaper I'm sticking with that. Only con is being organic a solution does not store indefinitely.

It works great for removing blueing from gun parts. Make sure you remove all the grease and oils from the part first.

We used EvapoRust extensively during my son's Eagle project, which was restoring old, rusty bikes to donate to needy kids. Any and all small rusty parts went into this stuff, including chains. We were able to save a lot of the chains this way. It's GREAT!

The rusty spring 🤷🏻‍♂️so so.

I came across this video by accident, but since I like Savage and I've been removing rust from 70+ year old Griswold cast iron, so I wanted to see what you had to say. Low and behold, it's the Evaporust that I've been using. Yes, it is completely amazing and has proven safe to easily get off stubborn rust from the cast iron, wash with dish soap really well and begin seasoning.

I’d recommend a brass brush. Won’t damage or scratch finishes and gives you a stiff abrasive when removing rust 😁

Sage Arnell

For the heavier rust leave it in longer and it will eventually take all of it off I use it to clean out boat exhaust manifolds I've also found that you can add water and it will remain just as strong and continue to work

Impressive result for that spring Adam , a little toothbrush scrubbing and re-soak =result. If you had heated it up the result would have been better. I discovered this while cleaning thrift store pots and pans involved in a grease fire by inept cooks. If you heat the metal on a burner or in the oven, get heat proof gloves put in sink and spray with oven cleaner get an abrasive scouring pad /steel wool( not nylon because it will melt to the hot metal) & scrub. Repeat reheat,spray and scrub until Voila ! You can transform the most abused caked on grime metal back to almost new. The immutable laws of physics are beautiful .

Been using it for years. It is the best chemical rust remover I have ever used.

I rescued two very hard to find panels for my 1968 double cab that separate the gas tank to the rear cab with this stuff. I put the panels in vacuum bags and poured the evaporust in. They came out perfect. I even got back the original paint and just ended up sealing them with a clear coat. Love this stuff too.

Emerald Oracle

I discovered Evapo-Rust about 10 years ago and I love the stuff!

First used it on a rusted cast-iron pan.

Been fighting rust all my life, winning some battles and usually losing the war. The nozzle left the Evaporust solution looking pretty good, but the rusty spring did discolour the solution. Would you recommend running the latter through a paint or coffee filter before returning it to the original container to extend it's longevity? The product is also available in a gel for vertical surfaces at about four times the cost. Do you have any experience with the gel? I would also assume the gel would not be reusable?

Danny L

For small parts, I have a glass jar that I drop stuff in. I just leave it setting after I remove the part and let the crap settled to the bottom. Then if you want, you can poor off the top in to a clean jar. Eventually it will get to the point where you just throw it out.

Zach Sweis

Those restoration videos are almost at the top of my list of best YouTube content.

I too watch hand tool restoration videos and have see the remarkable results of Evaporust, and I've seen it at many hardware stores.

I also have a fascination with tool restoration videos. I've used both evaporust and electrolysis and found both to be effective for removing rust gently.

I'd love to see something similar to the spring washed in an ultrasonic cleaner with this fluid.

Boomer Taylor

Looks to be my next fluid for restoring cast iron cookware! (unless it needs full on electrolysis, like your spring could probably stand).
I don't want to spend a bunch of time and effort restoring my shaper table surface... This and some guide coat and we're golden. :)

You could also use plain distilled white vinegar...I've used that and this product and they both work equally great.

Adam, have you figured how to filter this liquid to maximize liquid life? For me it does not last long.

Fabrizio Fabrice

Agree this works well, but be careful if the part needs to be re-coated. It removes typical protective finishes as well as the rust. The finished part looks great, and will begin rusting immediately or sooner.

A second 'feature' is that for unevenly-rusted thin metal parts, such as a stone-chipped auto nose panel, it followed the rust pits... ...all the way through the part, leaving pinholes. That's not Evapo-Rust's fault per se, just the nature of the beastly rust. Now I have to figure out how best to fill the holes so that they won't rust for many years. POR?

As a Musclecar restorer, I approve this message! Great stuff! Follow it up with some RPM (Rust Prevention Magic) and those parts will never rust again!

Jim McNeely

My favorite restoration channel is this Swiss guy and his channel is called My Mechanics. WOW. If it needs it he creates his own screws on the lathe and polishes them to a mirror finish. I like watching Adam because for the most part I think "I could do that!" Great stuff.

Mr. Matthews

This stuff is badass and it's definitely got its place on my tool shelf it actually replaced a handful of other chemicals that I used for the same reason.

Another chemical that I'm going to have is (Citristrip) paint and adhesive stripper. And I mean it strips good.... I once removed a bed liner with this stuff. It is going to save you a lot of Labor and a lot of time. The best part is you don't have to worry about dust when you put this stuff on it strips the paint and you don't have to grind or wire brush. One additional plus to Citrus strip is it's all natural and it doesn't poison the soil. It's not going to hurt you if you get it in your eye or on your skin. I wear gloves anyways cuz it helps save time on cleanup but it's peace of mind

J J Piatek

First I want to say that I could watch a video Adam showing the proper use of using a shop broom and be totally enthralled. He is just so amazing to waych and listen to and I learn something with every video of his I watch. Regarding this rust removal video... I just watched Adam's video and a few videos where I people where getting similar or better results using vinegar. Has anybody else experimented with vinegar?

OIFEagle

We've probably watched a lot of the same tool restoration videos. I have a LOWE's bucket full of this that I use all the time. Mostly on gardening tools that have been left outside, but also for old tools I pickup at flea markets. I have some pix of a couple railroad spikes that I cleaned off that I'll send you.

Thank you for this recommendation, I have a lot of old tools from my dad and grandpa that were in desperate need of rust removal. It worked beautifully.

What I've been using lately is something I'm sure most of us have laying around.
Some general purpose grease and a toothbrush.

DoctorX17

Oh wow, that's pretty great for just sitting there! I use this stuff called Bar Keepers Friend, which does an awesome job and isn't too rough on your hands, but it is an abrasive, so it can mess with the finish. 100% going to grab a bottle of this stuff!

Over the past few years I've been using vinegar for rust removal and have been happy with it. Recently I've used Evapo-Rust. What I've discovered is that if you had taken the heavily rusted spring out of the Evapo-Rust after a few hours and worked on it with a wire brush for a few minutes to loosen the heavy rusted areas and returned it to the Evapo-Rust, your results would have been even better and faster.

Antonio Cordova

Running everything in a parts washer or even using a power washer would be much more efficient and would probably yield better results. Going to be using this on bolt whenever I rebuild a motor for a customer. Thanks, slick.

Poon Bandit

I wonder if this stuff would work well in a parts washer or a heated parts washer like you might find in an auto shop, I have a small parts washer that works amazing for taking oil, grease and grime off in minutes but it doesn’t take off rust that well.

"When you work with steel, you have to deal with rust."

I am a Corrosion Engineer, and the number of people I encounter who don't grasp this idea saddens me.
Also, for anyone who happens to read through here - most metals and/or their alloys corrode in some environment or another. Not using steel isn't necessarily a valid corrosion management strategy for a given service application.

I've been using this extensively for several years now on vintage mopeds and scooters. My best advice is to pre-clean your parts beforehand. I generally use it to salvage rusted out gas tanks, and a pre-clean with soapy water works wonders.
Evaporust is not a degreaser or cleaner, but on a surface with only rust, it will work amazingly well. Agitation during soaking helps, too.
I've managed to rescue 40 year old gas tanks and parts that were covered I'm flaky rust chunks. Usually I let them soak a few days and they come out as clean metal.

Jasmine Manzo

Do u have any videos of how to clean gas tank

U Khan Do It

Adam, have you tried Phosphoric Acid for rust removal? It leaves phosphorus coating to prevent flash rusting.

Andrew Macdonald

Metal Rescue is pretty darned good as well...bit pricey here in Australia...but early results are mind blowing.

Thank you Adam! I am looking forward to using this on my Goodwrench socket set!

pongespob

For something as bad as that spring giving it a good going over with a wire brush or even a wire wheel where you can get to it first is a good idea. Metal Rescue which you can get at Home Depot etc. works about the same.

I have watched every episode of "Hand Tool Rescue". His videos are relaxing and he just may be the best at what he does. I love that he has an entire plastic barrel of Evap O Rust and just lowers a basket of parts into the drum. LOL!

Phil Morton

I recently inherited my father-in-law’s grandfather’s anvil- and part of the provenance was some dingy, barely visible red paint. As the story goes, Grandpa Batliner would paint his tools in his machine shop (c. 1910s or 20s) to identify them as his. So salvaging the original paint was a must. Evaporust did a beautiful job with it- even the paint is bright fire engine red again.

Jeffrey Hurst

Great to find a new product. I’ve had great luck with Metal Rescue but will check prices and use it on my old motorcycle parts.

Trysin

I'd be curious to see how well it works in a supersonic bath enclosure, would it be enough to eliminate the need for scrubbing?

John Robert

I used this on a rusty, dirty, and well neglected moped chain. Evapo Rust with some scrubbing made it look as good as it could. I also soaked all the rusted nuts and bolts. The moped was as clean as it could get.

Every cold, snowy day, I seem to misplace several hours watching those tool restoration videos also, Adam!

Important to remember that if you have any sort of bluing on the steel it will remove that too because if I'm not mistaken it is a form of oxide.

Timothy Smith

You are correct.

Matt

At work I noticed the inside wall of our dough mixer's stainless steel bowl had a thin half inch thick oil slick looking discoloration running along the circumference. Over time, the steel had oxidized because of friction between the bowl and a nearby shelf it was rubbing against as it spun.

Hand tool rescue is one of my favorite tool restoration channels. That’s how I first learned of it.

ARCH LAB 7

I have used this on a lot of rusty body panels, etc for car restoration. Amigos. This works incredibly well, has saved me a ton of time on having to prep/restore parts, panels & tools. I have saved money by using this as well, because I didn't have to trash items that might've been too much trouble to clean up.

Ask for cleanup and Disposal this stuff is pretty easy to deal with as well.

Jason Crichton

I bought this stuff on Adam's recommendation to do some old monkey wrenches and it worked great. It did however seem to leech through the plastic container I put it in so I'm a bit concerned about that.
