Molasses rust removal

You can remove rust from metal by soaking it in a mixture of feed grade molasses and water. Ive removed rust from washers, bolts, brake rotors, auto body parts, and more. Be sure to paint or treat the surface after rinsing to avoid flash rusting.

It is important that you use a sulfured molasses, which most often can be sourced from an agricultural feed store. I typically use a 3 parts molasses to 1 part water ratio for rust removal. (Hot water works best to dissolve the molasses) Submerge your rusty parts in the solution and check back in 2-3 weeks. Severely rusty parts will require additional time. The solution can be reused, but Ive noticed that it smells like it is fermenting after 2-3 months.

what is the best solution to remove heavy rust from classic car parts during an automobile restoration?

What rust-removal or rust remover products are on the market that will help with de-rusting heavily rusted antique and classic car parts? also the body panels have surface rust on them that i will need to get rid of as well.

The best thing I have found to remove rust from all metals is a rust remover call De-oxy-Does-It This product is a non-toxic rust remover and it is cheap but best of all it can be re-used many times over and over again! I think it is superior to blasting because it really gets ALL the rust out of the pits by soaking. You can see it and read all about it below

What is a natural remedy for rust removal on a bicycle?


CLR is not a natural product. It is a blend of hydrochloric and phosphoric acids together with surfactants. Avoid it like the plague on a bicycle. Hydrochloric acid makes steel rust. Phosphoric is much safer when used as a stand alone product and indeed removes rust. Naval Jelly contains phosphoric.

Now you asked about natural. Vinegar is natural and removes rust albeit slowly. It requires soaking and time. Coca Cola (and Pepsi) contain enough phosphoric acid to attack rust but again it takes a long soak. It also is more expensive than vinegar.

Mechanical means (scrubbing) include Fine (0000) steel wool. I have a friend that used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and removed surface rust from chrome wheels.

I need a homeremedy for a rust remover because my flashdrive somehow got rusted(i think my roomate got it wet)

I need to get the rust off so i can get my presentation off of my flashdrive for class on monday. And as we all know since its Easter just about EVERYWHERE i could but a new one is closed. and I really dont feel like doing this presentation over again.

Maybe a really soft bristle paint brush? That is a really good version of the dog ate my homework, I don’t think anyone else will have thought of that. Just kidding, Good luck, try the brush.
