[GreenKeys] Evaporust

[Pete Lancashire]

Not the easiest to find but in the US Harbor Freight carries it and most
'real' Hardware stores do or can order it.

My last restoration was a Roper Whitney No. 5, set. The metal box it was in
had at one time had sat outside
for years. Could hardly open it.

Toss the contents in to a plastic container. pour in the Evaporust and
forget about it for a week or two.

Other then the grease turning hard. Heat took care of that. I now have a
slightly pitted punch and dies.

The case was so rusted the bottom fell out, so had to toss it.

Put the cover back on the plastic container. You can keep reusing it quite
a few times.

The thing to watch out for is any plating or surface treatment will more
than likely be removed, so will
become more susceptible to rusting.
