I was recently looking through the belongings of my recently deceased Aunt who was a hairdresser. I found lots of hi-quality, quite expensive German-made cutlery — scissors, razors, tweezers, etc. But many of the items were stained with rust and looked corroded. Is there a good rust remover I can get, or anything I can do to restore these items to their original quality? Thank you.
Dear Benefactor,
I don’t just know of A rust remover. I know of THE rust remover. Please consider their value before using this though. Changing antiques devalues them. Do an on-line search for "navel jelly" and no I am not kidding. The US govt. came up with this pink acid concocksion for the navy and they did a really good job. It will remove every bit of the rust but not the pitting caused by it. Here ya’ go.
