256602 Gye Greene <gyegreene@g...> 2015‑10‑10 Example of vinegar de-rusting
GGs,


Hi!


Just a minor data point/example on using vinegar for de-rusting:  I just
got done de-rusting three calipers, a small pipe(?) wrench, and two...
poky-things.

Includes "before", "ready", and "after" photos.

Note this is aimed more at the new kids than the old hands.


Also, FWIW -- it seems like pretty much anything acidic would work.  I've
used my wife's expired Diet Coke (phosphoric and carbonic acid), and also
the squeezings of lemons that were starting to rot.
