Rusty Old Iron n steel

mardi 24 février 2015

Last year I bought a bottle 1ltr of Rust converter at the Toowoomba show

Rust Solutions 1 lt concentrate organic rust converter I finally got around to using it in the last 24hrs.


These are some of the tools requiring Rust removal prior soaking.










Below is the Rust Converter mix just after mixing and placing the tools inside.



I had also place in a Vernier height gauge which only had light surface rust but some bad pitting.






Below an additional saw added which had just slight surface rust. Note the colour change of the fluid this is approx 20 mins after mixing and placing the first items in.




Below the following morning almost 24 hours later for the worst of the tools.

There is notable flakes of rust on the bottom.


The tools after 24hrs taken out of the fluid rinsed and wiped down.

The tools were all sprayed with WD40 and a hard scourer used or light kitchen scourer or steel wool to remove the remaining scum.

I left handles on as according to the saleman in Toowoomba he'd found the solution doesn't effect the woo. however I would normally remove them as moisture will remain between the blades and timber causing rust over time. These few saws were not valuable a such to worry about it.



The photos below show the difference and results I have done a more comprehensive post on Rusty Old Tools
