    Default Rust Issues

    I'm having some trouble using Vaporust.

    In the past I soaked my blades with no issues but yesterday I dunked a blade and this morning the blade was kinda blued .

    Maybe because I left the blade to soak for too long?

    The real problem is that the blade sat half way in the Vaporust.
    Now there is a line or an indent in the blade that is quite deep . I can feel it catch on my finger nail .
    Its like the Vaporust really ate some steel.

    I've always heard that you need to totally submerge items in it.

    It should rub out. I'm not a Vaporust fan.

    I will keep sanding and stop whining I suppose..

    Normally I use a sandwich container but after use I would chuck the V-Rust away.
    So I bought a beaker with a waterproof lid, thinking I could use the same liquid again and again.
    Now I know I need a taller beaker .

    They should advertise that it eats all metal, not just rust .....just saying

    You can reuse it. I use a small Tupperware container and just cover the razor with the liquid. The go to the buffer after the soak so I really don't use it anymore. It's not cheap and doesn't work that well IMO.

    I keep mine in a medium sized gatorade bottle, probably 32 oz. Just plunk a few razors in and good to go. You can reuse it until it turns black and it has no shelf life.

    The kicker is they say it will not harm non rusted steel. The problem is pretty much all steel has some rust on it even if you can't see it and that's enough to eat it down a tad.
