trying Evaporust for the first time
I've been meaning to try Evaporust for quite some time, but have not. I've sandblasted and used electrolysis with success for years on car parts, tools, garden tractor parts, Coleman lantern & stove parts, and other "stuff". My favorite local hardware store( actually the only one I shop at) has a 5 gallon bucket of Evaporust in stock from last year that hasn't sold and they offered it to me for $40 including tax. I will pick it up on Monday.

I have used Rust Bullet Metal Blast for years. Has always worked the best out of all the other products I have tried.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
I have a 5 gallon bucket and its great for soaking things. Great for rusty tools. Soaked all my window regulators on my 30 fordor. That was the main reason I bought it. Worked like a charm.

That is a great price. Evaporust is good stuff, but normally expensive.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
I have a nice pair of wheels for the rear of my TT and had thought about dunking them in this stuff but would it hurt the wood in any way? I would like to actually have a nice looking wheel for a change .Back years ago when I did the truck,I was never happy with the crude job of painting the wheels.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
Mack, I would wrap the wood in three layers of duct tape and blast the metal. Evaporust probably wouldn't hurt the wood, but enough of it to dip a TT wheel would be ungodly expensive.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
I’ve used Evaporust as well as other harsh chemicals and found out on another forum that citric acid works just as well and is relatively inexpensive to mix up a 5 gallon bucket full. It comes in powdered form and you get it by the Mason jars in the canning department. I partially dipped this intake manifold. The bottom is before, middle is how it looks when removed and the top is after I lightly brushed it with a wire brush or scotch bright.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
Anybody used molasses? There was posts about using it a few years ago it and worked pretty well. I believe it was raw molasses. It was fairly cheap and people had vats of it to soak large pieces and parts in. I never tried it but wonder if people still use it.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
I haven't tried Evaporust but I am a big fan of Rust 911. I have even used it is the cooling system of my car. It dissolved all the rust from the block and made the radiator sparkling clean.

Re: trying Evaporust for the first time
50 years ago I used a product called OKITE 31. It worked great and left a dull oxidized finish after washing with clear water. Everything that I painted stayed solid with no blemishes or bubbles. I have no idea if this is still available or if like so many products that existed and and worked well became a focus of the EPA!!
