What are you going to do with it ?
Depending on if its mild steel only(sheetmetal) or castiron there are a few different aproaches.
For sheetmetal i think molasses is the cheapest way you can go.
There are not one thing that beats all of the others, it all depends on what youre doing.
Using a ultrasonic cleaner with the rustremover speeds up the process.
If you use Citric acid add a bit of alcohol and dishwashing soap to break the surface tension.
There should be a wiki for rustbusting...
And if you add water to any of the chelating processes compensating evaporation dont use citywater the chlorinated water is not good for the process.

Works by chelation, or so it is said.

Citric acid is used in some food preparation (keeping your cut apples from browning). You should be able to find large quantities at restaurant/bakery suppliers.

Hi Everyone, where do you fellas get your Rust911?

I see I can order it, but is there a retailer that carries it?

JSeery · 06-17-2016, 11:28 PM

You can get it online with free shipping.

Hi Everyone. JSeery, yes I see it's $59.50 from their website www.rust911.com, but I was maybe hoping I could pick it up today somewhere.

Anyone get it locally? Or does everyone order online?

Thanks!

email them at - [email protected] - or - [email protected] and ask them if they have retail outlets for their products.

They're very good at answering their emails....

Outstanding peethoovie! Why didn't I think of that! I'll let you know what I hear.

Hi Everyone, Here's what I got from rust911:

"I don't sell in retail stores under rust911. Other people buy our stuff and rebrand, but usually significantly more money.

Did you notice that I have free shipping on that size.
