[GreenKeys] Evapo-Rust, and similar products

[Dave Hunter]

Hi All:

I have decided to give Evapo-Rust a try, for several 
reasons...

It does not effect the metal, only the rust if it works as 
advertised. Acid and lye based removers do etch away some 
solid metal.

Secondly, and certainly a major reason, it is available 
locally.

Third, it is safe, and not considered a hazardous chemical -
 they say safe enough to wash your hands in.

It will not effect other metals according to documentation 
on the Rest-Check site, and as there is some of the 
assembly which is white metal, this is a consideration.

Before starting the process, I cleaned oil and grease off 
it and took several close-up photos of it, and I will 
report back too the list on how it works. If it does as it 
says, it could be the saviour of many machines which would 
be consigned to the junk pile otherwise...

So, expect a report from me in a couple of days on how it 
works. It isn't a fast procedure, especially with severe 
rust. It will be interesting to see how it works, 
particularily on the pivots on the levers...
