I'm going to have to try that on my antique tools!

Kanolabs (Kroil) also makes an excellent rust remover, called Exrust.

It is seriously amazing stuff in my opinion. There are other means of non destructive rust removal but the ease of treatment, this is a winner. Get as much oil, grease and general filth removed before submerging. If the part is not dully submerged, a discolored line and metal erosion will appear at the "water line". This is due to the product constantly attacking the perpetual oxidation at that transition where the part is exposed to oxygen.

I hose the part off afterwards and dry with air quickly, then spray with wd40 or similar.

The part can be left in the solution for days but it will darken the steel if left too long. 10 hours seems to be a sweet spot for me. Lightly scour with steel wool or scotchbrite.

The product can be reused as well.

I just started using it this year and it really is amazing. Made some neglected, not by me, Dillon dies look almost new.

The instructions say to leave them submerged 24 hours which worked well on items just covered in rust. I take the items out afterwards and submerge them in a pan of running water, then I drench them with home made case lube in another pan.

I used it on some shell holders which just had some spots on them and leaving them 24hours definately darkened them, almost looking as it they were blued...I sort of like the look



No, Daoism isn't a religion
