[TheForge] Cast Iron

[Lynn Emrich]

I have used the electrostatic method for removing
rust. When there was paint on the parts it softened
the paint so that it brushed off ea sly with a wire
brush. That way you don't have to worry about harming
other parts.
If you haven't tried this give me a holler and I'll
send you a link.
