Evaporust

[jeffmoss26]

First time using it and I am 100 percent sold!
Got a couple pairs of pliers at the ReStore last month and finally got some Evaporust and soaked them.
Before and after:

I bought some with low expectations and was really pleasantly surprised at how well it works. It's great stuff.

 

[Shadowdog500]

Same here! Bought it not expecting much and have been sold ever since. The fact that you can use it over and over is an added bonus. Chris

Just wait until you try Evaporust in an ultrasonic parts cleaner.

Side story.....

So I ordered it off amazon and it arrived in a usps bag..... the box was soaked in evaporust



Called amazon and they refunded me my money. Better yet they didnt want it back.

I finally opened it up 3 weeks later because i didnt want to deal with the mess. What do you know... it was someone elses box that exploded and mine was fine.... Score!!!!





I cant wait to try this out!!!

I've found it is the absolute bee's knees for chrome plated, rust stained items.

Don't leave something in it too long. I did a milling vise and left it in for I think several days, all the crudd re-attached itself.

It's great stuff and it helps you can reuse it a few times but dang it's pricey. Someone needs to figure out the "active ingredients" and tell us how to make our own homebrewed evaporust on the cheap. Hint to any chemical engineers who might be reading.

Hmm... I have a 15L ultrasonic sitting on top of the cabinet the Evaporust lives in but never thought to try it. Will give that a go...

Buy the 3.5 gallon bucket with the basket included.

After a good ultrasonic cleaning, I put the rusty items in a ZipLock bag and fill the bag up with Evaporust. I then put the bag in the cleaner's tub, fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water, turn on the heat and watch the magic. It takes only a cycle or two for most items to get them cleaned up. This works great on bolts and nuts.

Vinegar is dirt cheap and works well. Plenty of posts and should still be before/after pics in various threads here.

Keep in mind that vinegar removes rust because its acidic whereas Evapo-Rust is not. There is nothing wrong with using vinegar, just make sure you neutralize the acid in the vinegar with something like a baking soda/water mixture.

I have a gallon, but find a home brew of powdered citric acid mixed with tap water works well.

The powdered citric acid is available on Amazon.

Before and after:

Jeff, carefully wipe the plastic on the handles with a paper towel soaked in actetone. you will be amazed at how well they clean up.

Be carefull, you can melt the plastic away if you soak them in the acetone. just wipe on and off.

I've also had good luck with Evapo-rust.

I haven't tried it on tool handles but Mr Clean Magic Erasers work well to remove scuffs and grime from rubber.

I have been pleased as well. Once I remove all the items I pour it through a coffee filter before going back in the container. If you don't mix it up when you're removing the parts, the junk does a pretty good job of sinking to the bottom.

I used Evaporust on multiple projects.
Be aware of flash rust on some older wrenches once you wash of Evaporust in oil and dry things up. I started using hairdryer which helped.
Be aware that Evaporust removes bluing...
