Rust remover on biscuits mmmmm
I did a little searching here but had not found any mention of one of my favorite rust removers, but I could have missed it. By nature I am a cheap bastard and will go out of my way to save a buck if I can and so when it comes to rust eradication I usually turn to sorghum molasses and water. Like most of what I know I learned from my Grandfather and this is one of those little tricks. Growing up on a farm and very little money to go around, we had to use every little scrap we had and re-purposing rusted parts salvaged from the "scrap heap" was an everyday thing. I can remember scrounging up every rusted nut and bolt for Grand-daddy and putting them in a bucket filled with molasses and water and in a few days they were almost shiny and new. I don't think that he had a particular mixture for it but I can remember getting him a measuring cup of molasses from my grandmother that he would add to a barrel of water so I had started using a system of 20:1 for my mixes with good results. For years I just thought that this was my Grand-daddy's magic secret but then Al Gore invented the internet and I found out differently. Has anyone else used this?
