southbound nothing wrong with that but the concetration you get it in is nothing (id drink that useless crap) you need proofed concentrate (phosphorus in chemist 1200 proof strength)I use citric acid to remove rust, on the shelf at the supermarket and cheap, Like me! Got the idea from old mate over on the west coast, thanks OneTrack. The molassis would be better with large items in big drums. How much is a couple of litres in bulk? Cheers Ross
caution using it as it will dissolve your hand in 5 minutes

Even vinegar will work if you leave it in there long enough... It's only an acid after all ! Same as the old one about putting metal in Cola.. it's all Acidic ! So imagine what Cola does to your gutssouthbound nothing wrong with that but the concetration you get it in is nothing (id drink that useless crap) you need proofed concentrate (phosphorus in chemist 1200 proof strength)I use citric acid to remove rust, on the shelf at the supermarket and cheap, Like me!

Imagine also what breathing the fumes from 1200 proof phosphoric acid would do to your lungs... :'(
Now we ARE getting REALLY dangerous...
Molasses is much safer, bio-degradable & won't eat your hand off in 5 minutes if it accidently splashes onto you + you can also make it into some bitchin moonshine

I have been hijacked and yes for the better after 4or5 days trying with electrolysis and at best a 70% success all the really hard bits were left lve moved to molasses the rims just fit into a plastic 205 lt drum I chopped the top off so I will do most of the rims at once and just learn some patience. a friend told me that it is very harsh on cast material so I have to keep a close eye on it thanks all

The Anode or the cathode?
Maybe that is why Mammoth's block has taken so long?
Might have had the polarity wrong.

Ok then... Seeing's how we've successfully hijacked this most excellent thread, I thought I'd fire one more volley for the molasses Army.I have been hijacked and yes for the better


These are the headlight buckets I put in a few days ago... (less reflectors of course)

Now, with all this good Vs bad rust removal talk happening today, I decided to go & have a look @ how they were going




Now.... This is after only 3 days in 'The Tank'... No sanding, no grinding, no wire brushing... No effort on my behalf except for wiring them up, putting them into the tank & waiting. Can anyone see shiny metal?
Is this where I say "I rest my case"?
