evapo rust

Well, I am sure glad I am in Florida and not Kentucky right now! I have sunshine, they have snow and freezing rain. No Gus.....don't fire up the truck to stage a raid on my house. My tenant is there on guard and the alarm system is set!
 
I just purchased some evapo rust in a convenient 32 ounce size, for $8.99 + tax at the local O'Reilly Auto Parts store here in town. I'll give it a try on a couple of belt buckles I have. I'll take before and after pics to show the results.

Looking forward to meeting you in person at the S.O.S. Brian! Enjoy the warmer climate you're in now.

Best Regards,

Alan
 
Right back at you Al, see you at the SOS. I bought a bottle at Canadian Tire in Barrie before we left. It is good stuff.
 
Expecting plenty of taunting photos from SOS 2015 from the guys who are lucky enough to be able to make it!

Back to EVAPORUST, here are a few before & after photos I had posted here a while back:

A while back, I bought a line pickelhaube spitze from Brian through eBay. It was quite rusty and I soaked it overnight in EVAPORUST. Here's the result before, during--you can see the contrast between the submerged part and the rest--, and after treatment:

Looks quite nice after doesn't it? :) Beware though as it seems oversoaking would eventually remove the zinc-coating as it happened with the left spike in the 2nd photo above.

Indeed, I forgot something in it and it turned black as if it was burned!

The odour of it is familiar to me,...... but couldn't identify what it exactly is I am smelling......
