Remove rust from old tools

Now I do not know about you, but I like old tools. The problem is, more often than not, are covered with rust, if I find them. This was a real problem until I found a remedy. Right where I got this information, I do not remember, but it is information that the tool lover born to be transferred to all Members.

At first there are some things you need to gather:

1. A plasticBucket - A bucket clean drywall compound is ideal.

2. A charger - 12:02 Amps

3. Scrap metal - As a piece of pipe or reinforcing steel can be worked successfully, an old pot lid as well, the truth is not an object of steel can be used, this object will be the anode and will end up being eaten far away ...

4. Soda - If you can find, yet the arm and hammer soda, baking powder, but it is also possible.

5. The object that the rustDistance (cathode)

After collecting all the supplies, the process is really easy! Fill a bucket with enough water for the piece off the grid, with at least 2-4 "of clean water to remove the rusty spots. Add one tablespoon of soda per liter of water. Clip the positive from your charger to the victim object (the anode) and put it into the bucket with water. It's okay if some of the projects anodewater. Clip the negative lead for the piece you like to clean (cathode) would do. It 'important that this task can be completely submerged and not touching the theme of the 2-4 "of water and two pieces. Insert the charger will not be long before we see air bubbles in water. This is a good sign. The process of removing the rust has begun.

WARNING: Do not smoke or place near that bucket near an open flame, these bubbles!contain hydrogen gas and can explode!

A small piece will be cleaned in order in about two hours. The larger pieces are a bit 'longer and the current need to complete the work. After two hours, this film will get a clean dark gray or black on the piece of information. Unplug the charger and the film removed from your piece with a Scotch-Brite. Do not use sandpaper or steel wool when you create with the brands adjustment will be able to live yourfinished piece!

It 'important to have a top layer on your freshly cleaned pieces, apply stainless steel, as will begin to oxidize very quickly. My recommendation is to use a product like Minwax paste wax instead of WD-40. It offers a much more durable finish and will last much longer.

With this knowledge in the luggage you are free to buy rusty old tools come all. After all, the old rust can be removed!
