Metal Rescue

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of this product already.

But here it is. It is a great solution for removing rust from tough areas on number matching parts that can't be replaced.

It is water based and safe to go down the drain.

Although I would probably dump it outside.

 

It is a little pricey but it is something you can use a few times.

You can get a similar product that from what I see works about the same. It is called SOAK OUT RUST or something like that.? It comes in a large brown bottle found in the Automotive section with the other RUST removal products here in Canada at Canadian Tire (where else...) but likely could find it elsewhere. I have a bottle in the garage can get it and snap a pic soon.

 

It is about 9.00 for a bottle and you can mix it 50/50 if you need to but they suggest for heavy rust to use it straight.

 

Does work only thing must be in WARM area, so up here or where it is COLD need to have it at about room temperature for it to work right.

 

Does work IMO...used it for some small parts. Not sure if that Metal Rescue is available in Canada or not? or cost but this stuff is available here at your local CTC store for those N of the border.

Here is the same stuff at Home Depot. It is a form of phosphoric acid. I have used this and navel jelly for a thicker past like form. Both work good but you need to prime right away after treatment

The problem with both of these is there a caustic substance and not bio-degradable like the Rescue Metal and the Soak out Rust that we have been posting about. In both cases you COULD (and I would not) just pour it down the drain with no ILL effects. It attacks rust chemically AND puts protective coating on it that you can paint right over. The problem with the RUST JELLY etc is it is corrosive to other things (and your hands) AND is hard to deal with the WASTE by product.

 

For a frame etc where you can not SOAK it, I would use something like the RUST CHECK spray that converts the surface RUST layer to a paintable surface which stops the rust from getting oxygen and therefore starves it so can't spread. Then a good sealer and rust spray (POR 15) and should be good to go.

 

So my only concern with the RUST JELLY is it's caustic effects in an enclosed space (like a heated garage in winter).

 

And all you need is a plastic container put in this stuff, wait, remove the part and put it in water for a few seconds to stop the process and then dip in solution and let air dry and it has a coating on it to protect it till you decide to paint it or clear if it's to be left metal look.

 

And a bottle can go a long way and can be re-used a few times till it goes BLACK, then dilute with water and you COULD pour it down the drain....much safer and easier....JMO.

I just bought this stuff last week at Home Depot, dropped in my rusty stuff, pulled the parts out looking like a greyish color, rinsed and primered them. Brushed on POR 15 and set to go. I left my parts overnight and dayummmmm do they look good the next morning.
