Harbor Freight carries it in this area, as well as AutoZone.

My Autozone has it in 1qt bottles for $9.99.

I got a quote from Fastenal of $113 for a 5 gallon pail. But I can get single gallons from HF for $20 (as noted above).

I've been experimenting with Evapo-rust over the past few days and it works pretty well. The solution may not last as long as I hoped, but my tests are ongoing...

Yep, got mine at AutoZone .. works ok. Now if you really want to remove rust quickly, get some naval jelly ..

One "trick" with EOR is to use it and keep it in a sealed container. I bought a gallon of it over a year ago. After use, I filter it through a coffee filter. It takes quite a while to filter as it is thick and takes time to get through the filter. I still have about 2/3 of that gallon left and it still works great.

I have cleaned hundreds maybe even thousands of tools. Some were rusted from sitting in the weather for 4 1/2 DECADES. I don't pour the obvious junk in the filter so some does get poured out after each use. I use various size Tupperware containers to soak the tools. Lid on. I have left some for weeks. Its good stuff IMO. Sometimes it leaves a little too much black oxide on the tools, but they look better than they did, that's for sure!

I like the coffee filter idea. I'm going to start doing that.
