## Description

Evapo-Rust The Original Heavy Duty Rust Remover, Water-based, 5 Gallons

Review: I HATE writing reviews BUT...... - This stuff is nothing short of Awesome!!!! If you are lazy or don't have time to spend hours sanding off rust, this is your answer. I have written maybe 3 reviews my entire life and this stuff is worthy of a review!!! I use it for removing the rust off old weights from bench press sets, works like a charm. Only thing is it takes time, don't think you will take off 20yrs of rust in two minutes, give it 12-24hrs (depends on how bad the rust) and it will come out looking like new! I buy the 5gallon size and boy do I need it, it says you can reuse it over and over but each time you use it, you will notice it takes a little longer to work, after about three heavy uses (massive rusted parts filled to the top of the bucket) it slows down significantly and the product at least in my instance turns black (probably from the paint on the weights i suspect) As far as paint is concerned yes it kinda takes it off a little?? but its seriously is hard to tell because there is so much rust on these weights thats I'm not sure how much black paint was initially there to begin with. It seems to really just attack the rust. Oh and its seems ridiculously safe very low oder but i will say it kinda has a very faint sulfur (rotten egg) smell but like i said very faint and hardly noticeable (also one of the weights got away from me and splashed in the bucket and this stuff went everywhere including my face and nothing at all happen just wiped it of and went on about my business). Yellowish, like a crappy beer, in color. Also whats great about this stuff is you can just leave you project in there as long as you want 2, 3 even 4 days no adverse effects once the rust is removed it just will sit there waiting for your next project, and it will leave the unrusted bare metal alone. Do yourself a favor and buy big!!! If your like me you will start to find tons of metal tools and the like around the house that have rust on it. PS you will need to dunk, at least the rusted area, and leave it submerged, for a significant amount of time so this stuff is NOT good for tables and chairs and the very large objects.
Review: How to use - I have used this over many years. Great stuff works fast. I have noticed some complaints that it doesnt work as well. When I first bought it years ago, I had some difficulty. It worked good, but the material would lose its effectiveness. I experimented....Now it works amazingly. First, make sure your part is free of all oils and grease. oils and grease will contaminate the fluid. Secondly use a secondary container. No need to contaminate the entire bucket for some small parts. Use a left over yogurt container or bowl or something like that and pour the fluid into it. Cover the container so the fluid does not evaporate. The fluid will last a long time. Do not pour the remainder back in the bucket. Do not contaminate the bucket. The last time I purchased was 5 years ago and that was two 3.5 gallons buckets....and I just recently ran out of it. Also, I agree that I miss the pour spout from the 3.5 gallon version. Luckily I kept my 3.5 gallon containers so I transferred the lid with the spout to the 5 gallon container. Plus I use the 3.5 gallon container with the strainer for larger parts. Again, make sure that parts of free of oil and grease, and use separate container to de-rust. And finally, dont put used fluid back in the virgin fluid. Happy de-rusting

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would it be safe to dip like the whole rim in it? or will it mess up anything?**
A: Perfectly safe to soak a rim or any metal in for days on end. I soaked a complete stator assy from a motorcycle and it cleaned up beautifully. Worked like new when dried and installed too.

**Q: How many times can you submerge an item in this and still use it again? Just looking for an estimate....**
A: I've gone through about 20 gallons over the past year, cleaning about 2,000 hand tools, ranging from 1.5mm Allen wrenches on up to pruners and framing squares, which I suppose averages out to about 100 tools per gallon. But it really does depend on the heaviness of the rust to start with. I usually use as little as I can: I find a flat-bottomed container of the right size and then just put in enough to cover the tools; using that method, I can usually reuse that small batch for three or four sets of tools before it becomes too black and 'loaded' with rust to use. At that point it seems to be putting more rust on than it takes off.

**Q: after using this product and yes it works exellent can i pour it down the sink after using it. how do i dispose of this product ?**
A: It is non-toxic and biodegradable, it could be poured down the drain.

**Q: What is the shelf life after opening and using?**
A: Open and unused at least a couple months. I never had it longer without using it. Used depends on what you de-rusted. I usually get a few uses, especially with small parts. Do keep it sealed, in use or not, it will evaporate.

*by S***N on October 22, 2013*

I live in Florida and my garage is a work shop. It is a combination of blacksmithing and woodworking area. Because of new job and blacksmithing priorities, the woodworking side of things had been ignored for about 6 years. A few months back I decided to get my shop in order. Aside from taking measures to reduce humidity, I also found that many of my tools had heavy coatings of rust. Because of the amount of work and the size of the pieces, I decided to go with the 5 gallon drum. It has really brought back my shop. I've cleaned up my chisels, my clamps, saws, hammers and so on. This stuff is a miracle. A few hours soak is enough for light rust. A few days with some light scrubbing will usually be enough for heavier rust. As an example, I own two drill presses. Both of them have surface rust on the work areas but they also had bad rust on the main column. I disassembled the drill presses and I was able to soak the column in the 5 gallon drum. I did have to do one half and flip it over to do the other half. I was also careful to seal off the drum to prevent loss of the product do the evaporation. When I pulled the column out it was a amazing. There was a little bit of darkness where the rust had been located but a few wipes with a green pad and some fresh water and it was like new. This stuff does work and it works very well. As a note, after you clean up a piece and dry it off, do not forget to immediately rust protect it with wax, grease, oil or some other protectorate. The surface will be especially vulnerable to rusting after cleaning it up.
