    Question A ? or 2 on Evapo-Rust.

    Seems like an ideal rust removal option. For those of you that use it: what sort of container do you use when soaking razors in the stuff? From what I read on the packaging, it's "safe on most materials". But would it eventually eat through something like a disposable Tupperware? Also: is there any kind of gas production? I'm not really worried about fumes, but if I need to put a lid on it to safeguard against spills during the soak, it would be pointless if gasses just popped it off anyway lol.

    Looking forward to your thoughtful responses!

    Sincerely,
    Crawler.

    Nope, empty water bottle works great for a couple of blades. Screw on the top and check it in an hour. If it needs more another hour, 2-3 should get most anything off.

    Do not throw the solution away, just screw on the top and mark what is in the bottle, it last a long time, years even when it is brown dirty, still working.

    Rinse in water and dry.

    There is an old post I made a couple years ago with photos on Evaporust.

    A big test tube holds a couple of blades.

    Word of caution: Do not let the level of the solution get below the top of the blade. The blade must be fully immersed.

    Even a couple of days is OK

    just tried this rust dissolver gel a few days ago with good results. I like that it's a gel and I can apply it only to the rusty bits. Nice for scale on restorations and lightly etched blades. It took off all the stubborn black rust in about 10 minutes.Name:  image.jpg

    I grab a tall kitchen glass... tie the blade to a string, and the string to a pencil... hang the blade from the pencil resting across the top of the glass.

    Once done, the glass goes in the dishwasher... good as new.
