    Will this work with razors and also do u dillute the vinegar with water and can u use say 9 blades in one bottle . And also can white vinegar eat at the metal since it is a acid. And how long can I leave the blades in the vinegar

    Sorry guys, hadn't checked this thread for a while. I don't know if it would work with razors, but vinegar is cheap cheap cheap if someone wants to try it.

    I used it straight, no dilution necessary.

    Thanks to all who said it was a nice vise. I like it.


    Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

    OP, throw those scales away, fast and far. Celluloid is the devil.

    Just saw this. The difference between the two products is that vinegar is a weak acid, whereas Evaporust uses some kind of chemical reaction to reduce the iron oxide back to the original iron. Evaporust would be safer for smaller and more delicate objects, and vinegar would be good for the larger more robust ones.

    Sorry for gravedigging an old thread, but do NOT use white vinegar on a razor with rust/patina, at least if you are prone to walk away from something for more than a few minutes. Vinegar is acetic acid, and removes steel as well as the iron oxide (rust). I left one in vinegar overnight, and it looked like lace in the morning (lots of little holes through the steel). Evapo-rust works via chelation, like the molasses solutions so, and will only bond with iron oxide, leaving a rust free, clean metal surface. The molasses solutions are also used on rusty thin metal like old motorcycle tanks to remove rust without thinning the already thin sheetmetal.

    Great old thread. Still relevant for us new guys just starting to investigate restoration options, be they invasive, or as in evaporust, slower, but less invasive from a buffing and grinding perspective.
    Thanks.
