Don't blame you the one time I used it-it was so messy - its sat in the corner ever since!!

if it is for rust

rust removal slime/gloop in a tin and a brillo pad worked ok on my engine block various suspension bits and bobs and then anything i could find that was rusty was dumped into a bin full of the dripped off part used stuff which i watered down (makes no sense i know) which actually worked ok

rocker tins old spanners anything i could find

still a bit of elbow grease involved but i was pretty impressed

Bilt Hamber and some halfrauds stuff

smells a bit vinegary but won't kill your cat or damage your tool.

someone.... DB or Miles on here used it on panels i think add gloop cover in cling film come back later and Bananarama! all off...obviously doesn't work if there is paint or oil in the way.

if mad keen on the blasting

Make your own gun and use any old rubbish in it if you bust it make a new one.... works for spot blasting bits n bobs



works on hard stuff

use kiln dried sand

i wouldn't necessarily point it at a panel but chassis and big chunks should be ok

if he can etch glass with it carve wood with it then it will work on paint and rust

Ive been using phosphoric acid that I get free from work. It does the job eventually. I've found that citric acid is just as effective.
Lemon juice after its washed off to neutralise it but it does take a while.

Im going to continue with this method now as my donor rail came up really clean although a bit of scraping and wire wheeling was required as well.

Sorry for the very late reply. I can't find the before and after photos of the rails and they are painted now but I'll post some before and after of some other parts that need de-rusting soon.
