Incredibly Easy To Use
I've been using this to strip rust off of old hand planes. This stuff works pretty great. What's really nice is that it has no odor, rinses off with water, and you _can_ use your bare hands when handling it (gloves are never a bad thing though).It says that you should just leave your part in there for a couple hours to get it cleaned off with a maximum of 24 hours. This is true. Even if you still have rust on your part, remove the part and clean & dry it. I left one part in for 48 hours because of the extreme nature of the rust and it got the rust off but then began to etch the bare metal underneath. It took all the rust, all the patina (which is just different rust), and all the luster out of the surface metal. This can be polished back to shiny or even electroplated, but just not leaving it in that long on a single go will avoid that.When I was done with the soak, I got a big funnel and a coffee filter and poured the remover back in the jug. It worked just was well the second and third use. I know, chemically, this won't last forever but it is certainly not a one & done product.
