Evapo Rust - Awesome Awesome Awesome No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I posted up a project about refinishing an old plane and Mark Mazzo refered to a product on his sites blog for removing rust. In my best Hank Hill voice…I tell you what. This stuff just works! I had to let it soak for a couple of days but man, all I had to do was rinse off the pieces then lightly use a stainless still brush to remove the remaining paint. I have used navel jelly, wire wheels, WD 40. They all pale greatly in comparison. If you have something small that is heavily rusted and can be submerged this is what you want.

Wow, very interesting. I come across small hand planes and other metal tools all the time that I don’t know what to do with. Thanks for the review. I will definitely try this! Is it easy to find and readily available at a hardware store or where do you have to order it from?

That’s what I was going to ask. Where do you get it?

Sounds like a magic elixir – if it works as good as you said, it will make a great addition to the arsenal of needed supplies for cleaning and grooming the tools.

I believe that LV also carries it. It is also pretty environmentally friendly as well.

I went to two different AutoZones to get some. Neither person I talked to was aware of it, but the store had it. I wanted a gallon, but the largest size they carried was a quart.

I’ll have to give this a shot. I messed up and left a benchtop scrollsaw in my apparently not so moisture free car trunk for a few weeks. Naturally, the top is very much in need of some TLC. Haven’t tried any other method yet. Suppose I should give the old WD-40 a shot as it’s on hand. I wonder if this is a decent chemical for small carbide bits and blades. Always worth a shot in battling rust in South Carolina. My garage shop might as well not have walls with our humidity.
