Evapo Rust - Awesome Awesome Awesome

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?

I found it at Autozone. The website is www.evapo-rust.com

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.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

... and it’s fairly environmentally friendly too? Awesome. Thanks for sharing this magic elixer!

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.

I asked these questions on another thread.

I got my answer here.

Does the temperature affect the use of it?

Do you wash it off with a water hose?

I normally pull it out and just let it dry, as it seems to prevent the flash rusting. Once I am done re-working the metal I wash it off with soap and water and then immediately move to the finishing process.

Once the stuff gets nasty I do rinse and then dunk into clean solution.
