[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Rust Removal

[Lloyd Godsey]

White vinegar. Won't touch the base metal, removes iron oxide (rust).
Wash with HOT water, stand by with oil or it will be rusty again in 30 min.

Thanx

Subject: [ARC5] Rust Removal

Hi,

I got some tools wet inadvertantly and they rusted some. I remembered that
lemon juice could be used to remove surface rust, so I tried it on a mill
file. And, it works !!

Practically speaking, I put the file in a ZipLok bag and added some Real
Lemon and let it sit overnight. It looks like new! It does give off a kinda
funky smell though.

Best,

-John
