| |
− | *Phosphoric acid (naval jelly, etc.) reacts with rust (iron oxide), to form iron phosphate (the black stuff that naval jelly leaves behind). Neutralize with: baking soda.
| |
− | *Don't ever use battery acid (sulfuric acid) to remove rust. Very dangerous to work with, and harms metal.
| |
− | *To keep naval jelly wet, soak some fabric in water, and lay it on the naval jelly. Can work on an incline.
| |
− | *Don't sit in one spot too long with a wire wheel -- it will warp the metal from the heat.
| |
− | *The iron phosphate coating that's left behind by rust converter is a fine base for primer.
| |
− | *One recommendation is: after sandblasting, remove some more of the surface metal by sanding with sandpaper. This is done to remove the salt, sand, moisture, etc. from the surface.
| |
− | *Molasses is thought to work, but takes a while. 1 part molasses to 10 parts water.
| |
− | *To remove rust: Comet/Ajax with Scotch-Brites, and then muriatic acid with scotch-brites, and then rinse and wash with Comet/Ajax again to neutralize the acid.
| |
− | *What's "all-metal"? Same as all-metal prep?
