Evapo-Rust ER012 The Original Super Safe Rust Remover - 1 Gallon

Review: It be working and it be working good. I work in a place where i might uncover rusty or decrepit tools. This works wonders on them. Imagine a barren wasteland with nothing but sand and dirt and you find an adjustable wrench covered in rust. I managed to reclaim a few using this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It seems that almost every review involves "soaking" items. How does this work on surface rust that cannot be soaked?**
A: For areas that's cannot be submerged I have taken paper towels soaked in Evaporust and wrapped the part. Do a few layers and make sure there are no air pockets or that area will not be treated. Follow the paper towels with a layer of plastic wrap to keep the product from evaporating and again watch out for air bubbles. Inspect, re-soak and re-wrap every few hours.
For heavy rust I hit the surface with a wire wheel first.
The Evaporust Gel might be more suited to this method.

**Q: Will this be safe to clean steal scuba tank in side and help prevent rust**
A: I'm a dive master and certified tank inspector.  If you have rust in your tank you should have it professionally inspected.  You "could" use this but if there is pitting or other dammage it would cripple the tank and potentially make it unsafe to fill.  Not sure about any residue this might leave that could contaminate the air, so I would say probably better stick to tumbling to remove light rust.  Your dive shop can do this or should know of a service center that can.

**Q: My metal is covered with sticky goo after I left evapo-rust on it. I want to avoid water rinse due to flash rust. how do you rinse this off?**
A: With the evapo rust, you need to make sure there are no oils, grease, etc prior to being on the metal when you soak the evapo rust. Once you soak the evapo rust and the rust has been removed, the product has done its job. You do want to wash it off afterwards and dry it. To keep it from re rusting is another problem in of itself. We have a product called rust block that comes in either a trigger spray or aerosol can. Spray a layer of it on there and it will keep the object from re- rusting for up to a year

**Q: If I soak a tool, will it ruin a wooden handle  (like a chisel)?**
A: I have soaked many old tools with wooden handles with little change to the wood.  Given that “wood doesn’t like water”, I try to keep the soak time as short as possible.  I rinse and rub with fine steel wool.  I dry with a hair dryer to prevent rusting.  Final step is light oiling.  I hope this process works for you.  Also, I keep the “used” EvapoRust and reuse many times.

国内品色々試してましたが、綺麗に錆びが落ち切らず何度も漬け置きしたり、酸・アルカリの刺激臭・異臭がしたり、 直接触れない物だったりと扱いが面倒なの上に、錆びが落とし切れず結局後で散々研磨したりしていました。 Evapo-RustははYoutubeのHand Tool Rescueという古い工具をレストアするチャンネルで使用されており、綺麗に錆 が落ちていたので試しに購入してみました。赤鯖だらけになったネジやに黒錆になっているドライバやニッパとかの工 具を試して見ましたが数時間～二晩漬け置きしておけば殆ど錆が落ちます。動画で見た通りの使用感でした。 酷い錆は錆びてた箇所に若干シミが残りますがワイヤーブラシで磨けば落ちる程度だったので試してはいませんが漬け て置く時間をもっと延ばせば落ちるような気がします。 液は酸やアルカリを含まないので素手で触れても大丈夫です。匂いはちょっと癖のある薬品臭がしますが私はそれ程嫌 な臭いには感じませんでした。同社のジェルタイプも同時購入して使用しましたがこっちの方は液体の匂いを濃縮した ようなキツイ匂いです。ジェルタイプはアルミの錆にも使えるのと大きくて漬け置き出来ない物や垂直面に塗っても垂れにくく、効果は液体タイプと遜色ありませんでした。 液体・ジェルタイプどちらも水洗いしただけでは金属光沢までは蘇らず表面にうっすらとくすんだ膜みたいな物が形成 されているので、水洗いして乾燥させた後にワイヤーブラシ等で軽く磨いてやる必要はあります。 漬け置き後に水洗いしなければくすんだ膜が防錆剤としての効果を維持してくれる様です。 ルーターに真鍮製のブリストルブラシやカップブラシを付けて軽く磨く程度で楽に金属光沢が出てきます。 値段は高めですが一回使用の使い切りでは無く、錆落としの効果が無くなるまで繰り返し使用が可能なのでトータルで 見ればコスパは良いと思います。 大き目のジャムの空き瓶に小分けして繰り返し使用してます。使用する度に液はだんだん錆び色に濃く染まりますが、 数回程度使用した位では効果が薄れたような感じは全くありませんでした。

*by E***N on 15 April 2020*

I do a lot of work with bikes, and often come across lots or rusty bolts, cassettes, chains, derallieurs etc. This stuff works wonders. It doesn't do 100% of all my goods, but i'd say about 98% comes out great, sometimes depending on the metal, it turns it black. But if its chrome, its brilliant. Its happened on a couple of chains, turned the links black, but on some silver chains it's fine. I recently did some files which again worked great but they turned black, but who cares, they are files, and do the job whatever colour they are. Would I say worth the money?.......All day long. 5 litres of this stuff is likely to last me a lifetime, and its apparently Eco friendly. I'm off to try some drill bits now.
