Title: Which Evapo-rust are you guys using?
Post by: priceless on October 02, 2014, 01:08:29 PM: I'm needing to use some evapo-rust for the first time. I read where you guys use it quite frequently.
A Buddy of mine says he's used the evapo-rust in the gray jug with exceptional results. I have a water pump with new brass bearings installed. Will evapo-rust hurt the bearings?

My question is, which one is everybody using?

Below is from Ebay, was wondering if this is the one to use.

Thanks for any help.

From their website:

EVAPO-RUST is non-corrosive to steel and does not harm brass, copper, aluminum, gold, lead, titanium, steel, cast iron, chrome, solder points, vinyl, plastic, rubber, silicone, glass, cork, or wood.

If you combine the order with other parts for a total of over $300 then it qualifies for free shipping. No special environmental shipping fees.

Great product imo.

Yea, the stuff is habit forming. ;)

I removed a very heavily rusted rear end cover from my SVO and was curious how well Evaporust would do on it. Well, about a gallon later.....(it was HEAVY rust!) I got my results!

Not sure it was the best use of $22+ but my curiosity was satisfied. ;D I don't have a blast cabinet so that wasn't an option. Didn't find any cool factory markings tho'. :(

Yeah, that's what I think too! With longer parts like driveshafts and leaf springs to contend along with having a capped off roofing gutter filled with the stuff only begs for having 5-10 gallons on hand...and even then, you will have to move things around to get eveything dunked ;)

I think Charles was likely referring to the typical situation where you start out with one item then find another .... and another that could use a little freshening up. Just like most of our restoration projected they seem to snow ball...... not that I've had allot of experience with snow nor the idea that someone would want to make balls from that stuff ;)
