[TheForge] coal or charcoal morph to Evaporust

[Peter Hirst]

By coincidence, my first Evaporust arrived today as well.  My shop is 
literally a stone's throw from salt water, and at times it seems as if rust 
control is half of my shop maintenance effort. I keep a permanent 
electrolytic setup that I can clip a piece into any time.  Since I set it up 
3 months ago it has been shut off for no more than a a day or two at a time. 
I am not sure yet, but I think the optimal rust removal regiime is gong to 
be first treatment in the electrlytic rig and finished with Evaporust. 
Depends on how  Evaporust works on black oxide.  I also keep a tub of 9:1 
molasses solution for low cost, long term treatment.  ANything I don't need 
for two weeks goes in the molasses.  Really small stuff oges right in the 
Evaporust.  Everything else gets zapped for a few hours then finished in 
Evaporust.  Evaporust is definitley on my short list of products that I 
can endorse, and I ma thinking about bottling the stuff and handing out 
smaples with every major purchase.  I already do that with my wax finish, 
and its a great promotion.
