Default Re: Cog rust

I use molasses a lot and have found it very effective. However I have heard that it can harm hardened steel as in gears and crankshafts etc. I don't know how true that is (there is a post about it somewhere on this forum).

As both molasses and Evaporust are based on the chelation process, is it not reasonable to assume that Evaporust may also harm hardened steel? On the Evaporust website there is much talk about how safe it is, but no mention of using it on automotive gear cogs or other hardened steel.
