Evapo-Rust ER012 Super Safe – 128 oz., Non Toxic Rust Remover for Auto Parts, Hardware, Antiques | Rust Removers and Chemicals

This product is amazing. Used to restore old military rifles, removed all the rust with out damaging the metal. Non toxic and washes off with water. Bought a second gallon to work on shovels and other garden implements.

Great product.

Absolute best rust remover available, works better than any other Ive tried, but MUST be able to soak items, not nearly as effective as a spray.

This stuff really worked well removing surface rust from a bunch of wood lathe parts (some cast iron, some tool steel, some stainless) as well as a few drill bits and black oxide tools. After soaking overnight, I rinsed them, scrubbed them lightly with a wire brush, re-dipped them again and then put some protective oil on them. I did not submerge any of the parts that contained bearings - those I just surface treated by wrapping them in a paper towel soaked in Evaporust for a couple hours. I also did this on the lathe bed itself, and I was really surprised how well it worked. I had one drill bit that had some heavy corrosion on it, and of course it didn’t work on that, but at this point I think that bit is already dead!

This stuff works pretty good. Depending on the corrosion level, it may take up to 24 hours. I just left a bucket-full of parts sit in this stuff overnight and it did its magic. Keeps working, no matter how dingy it looks. Restored a lot of chrome acorn nuts and finish hardware back to their original condition. Works best on painted metals. Strips away all rust and lose paint. Made my restoration project a lot simpler. Soak a shop towel in this stuff and wrap around larger parts. Saved me a lot of time cleaning up spoke wheels on my motorcycle. Worth the $

The instructions on the bottle say to soak a towel and wrap rusty item with it. That doesnt work very well and its a huge pain in the testiculars. Soaking the item for several hours works incredibly well. Im genuinely blown away. Already bought a second gallon. Im cleaning up a vintage drum kit that was totally rusted. Almost done all the hardware with one gallon of this stuff. It will look brand new when Im finished thanks to this product. Id give a hundred stars if i could.

Initially used on heavily-rusted bandsaw parts at temperatures around 55-65 F. Didnt see very good results after 24 hours. Read note about applying at temps above 65 F, brought parts inside where its warmer and 24 hours later - excellent results! Works like a charm when you pay attention to directions! Also able to reuse over and over again. I keep a jar handy with previously-used liquid and it seems to continue working well after 4-5 rounds of soaking multiple parts.

Good

I was worried about the eco-friendliness, however, I figured Id see what all the internet hype was about. This stuff works great. Will remove the rust off just about anything in under 24 hours, and will do it faster when warm. Worth every penny.

This product works. I found a buried hammer and was going to toss it. I also have a bad habit of leaving tools outside thinking I’m going right back out and realize weeks later I left them out in the weather. I left these tools over night, rinsed and wiped clean. Rust was gone. I would but again.
