Thread: Experiment...Rust Removal

I am really enjoying the results so far!

I don't know if you've seen any of the vids out there but some people leave the rusted material in the solution for weeks only taking it out just to scrub off the rust and put it back in. The idea of beet molasses is it naturally absorbs iron in the soil and does so again when, well, you use it as a rust remover in molasses form. For best results scrub the rust off as mentioned to help move the process along faster and remember to scrub it off outside of the solution as the molasses will continue to eat the rust if you leave it all in there. Bondpunk, are you using just straight molasses or are you diluting it? Just curious as I've read some dilute but the ratios are all over the place.

Once the project is complete just use some MAAS or car buffing wax to stop the rusting. If you restore like some of the people on here all you would have to do is just wash off the molasses, wipe dry and hit the buffers or sand paper.

This makes me want to find a razor that is so rusted you can't even identify it and try this project.
