Rust Removal Product

The Virginian · 12-09-2008, 03:03 PM

Has anyone used a product called "Evapo-Rust?" I have used it on some old S&Ws I was restoring and it works very well, has basically no smell and it is non-toxic. Auto-Zone sells it and clean up is a snap. I have also used it in badly rusted rifle bores with very good results. The nice thing is it can be used over and over again too.

Excerpted form the Question/Answer section of a site (http://www.nicks.ca/evap-2.html) about Evapo-Rust.....

"Q)Will EVAPO-RUST Ã¢?Â¢ remove bluing and other oxide finishes?
Yes. EVAPO-RUSTÃ¢?Â¢
will remove these in about 30 minutes. Anodizing will not be removed.
Powder coating and paint will not be removed as long as the paints do not contain oxides."

True, like many products made to remove rust it will remove bluing too, but I like that the stuff is safe to use and is simple to dispose of. The results I have gotten were spectacular.

Safe to use and is simple to dispose of, are indeed handy traits to have, in ANY chemical cleaning product....

Bobcam1: I was surprised at how mild the stuff is and that diswashing soap seems more harsh by comparision.
