O/T project, but you get the idea. Added the vinegar to a poly 55gal. drum cut in 1/2. 14 days later. Scrubbed with a S/S brush, then washed it with a mixture of baking soda and water. Dried it with a heat gun. Note the flash rush. Sprayed it with One Step. The clear spray converted the flash into a black coating. On to final prime and paint. Hope this helps.
Yup, tried vinegar, it works. Now I`m trying a molasses bath on my brake drums to compare . Lots of great stuff on here in the archives
yep, good info/tech - looks like in first pic that there is a pilot bushing - would make a "killer" engine fan (Ha!). where did you find the One Step?. have not seen that before.
That bolt-on has to be something off the farm .... looks wicked! Make sure its "white" vinegar ... it also works well in the place of "Metal Etch" (like Jasco) when prepping sheetmetal. ....and a teaspoon a day in 12 ounces of water keeps the beer-gut under control LOL
That part looks like it came off of some corn binder. Do you want to sell it? I need a new steering wheel for my car! LOL
its good to run thorugh an old engine also. clean out the shit. and wash your windows better then most cleaners.
PooNanny cleaner too, or some call it YippeeBog, Squish Mitten, Oyster Ditch, Ham Wallet, Bitch Wrinkle, Fiddle Cove, Pudding Hatch, Or just Pussy.
I'm a believer - bought a pair of old hub caps - after markets creap grade SS - covered with rust - so I used rubbing compound, Mothers, steel wool on one, and soaked the other in vinegar. The one I tried to rubbed out looks like s@#^, but the one I soaked looks almost like new.
Pur,t,, !!! 1/2 cam bud in... will really give it that finish !!!! Oh Yeh !!!, Have A Happii Big One !!!!
Straight out of the bottle. It took 2 1/2 gallons to cover the part. As a side note, there was no heat on in my shop. Temp was about 50 degrees F, and the tub was not covered. My brother stopped over tonight. We checked the ph of unused vinegar. It registered 6.0. The used vinegar after 14 days and contaminated with rust registered @ 5.9ph (So the shit is still good)
I have the same vinegar that has been in a plastic tank for the last 10 years. When the level goes down I just add to it. Usually I just soak the part for about 3-4 days and pull it out and hose it off with a good high spray of water. The rust washes off in sheets. If there is still rust on the part, it will go back into the vinegar for a couple of more days. After that the part is washed with soap and water; which neutralizes the acid. Then you can prime and paint. The first time I tried the vinegar, I soaked the parts for 3 days and pulled the parts out and all the rust seemed to still be there. So I put them back into the vinegar for a week this time. Then I checked them again and they were still rusty, and I thought that this sucked. So I grabbed the hose to wash the parts and look for another method to get rid of the rust. When the hose spray hit the parts the rust came off in sheets. So that is how I got the the heavy rinse.
