Anyone got any tips, recommendations, products for extensive rust removal?

The bota has extensive rust on the fenders that is spreading. :eek: looking to attack this thing once and be done with it :D

There was some posting a while back about a product you paint on it kills the rust and bonds with it making it stronger and wont allow it to start again,,, But I dont remember what it was called but I do know it aint cheap!!!

I think that what you're looking for is "rust converter" - try that as a keyword and even the big box stores carry it.

Search on "Ospho".

But its second fiddle to striping/sanding, repriming & painting.

Which is second fiddle to cutting out rust/cancer and weld in new metal. Granted that is a bit overkill though.

Daren,

I have heard that this is an excellent way to remove rust :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4yYF8gSHdA

you will need a large tub or kiddy pool or something, but this is cheap and effective!
You da man!!!!! I'm gonna have to try that :D I was wondering how to get into some of the hard to reach spots. :D I got a kiddy pool out back that would be perfect for it :D plus a bunch of extra metal in the garage :D

That would solve quite a few issues. Especially if it will remove the paint too!!! Then I can haul them in to work and pressure wash. Weld the rips :rolleyes: give it a quick buffing and then prime and paint.

I'll post picks of how it works. If it does really well, I could see a trend starting on this site :cool:

Naval jelly. Original rust convertor.
I have used evapo-rust with decent results.
That's what I used growing up, and it worked great.

Didn't know if they had a new/improved product 40 years later.

God, 40 years later??!!??!!:eek::eek:

I'm not as young as I think I am - - - now that's a good thing!!:)

You know, there was one thing that I didn't think about until now. These older tractors were painted with lead based paint :eek: one more reason to be able to sell the idea of electrolysis to my wife :D the hood and dash aren't pad. So those I'll hit with a scuff bad and paint over the lead paint :D:D

You know the Redneck hot tub/ truck bed pools? (tarps in a truck bed, filled with water) Have seen similar redneck ways to make baths to electronically de-rust large items such as truck chassis.

ahhh.. here is an image of one of my favorite threads... *THE SUNKEN SIDECAR ....OF DOOM where he built a large bath for using electrolysis to derust the SSOD

then the obligatory redneck hot tub/pool

*thread is at Advrider.com the user who did the de-rust of this buried sidecar from a river in England? is Mouse; an avid Diesel Motorycycle rider/builder .

In the past we have used good ol Muratic Acid (pool acid), diluted with water.
Works great on metal that has no paint, but you can not use it on structural
items like springs shackles, etc. because you will get imbrittlement.
That would make these types of items weak.

This is from old timers in the old neighborhood,
worked great on the sheet metal and interior items on my 48 Dodge PU.

In the marine industry, we use muriatic full strength to remove rust and corrosion. After dipping in acid, neutralize it by dipping the parts in a baking soda and water solution. Dry, prime and paint. Acid is about $5 a gallon at the hardware store, and baking soda is fairly cheap at the grocery store. Use safety glasses and don't breath the fumes. DO NOT use it on aluminum. You won't have much left to work with, LOL.
