Default Rust Removal, Fast easy and Cheap

Thanks to Mark for this handy tip on rust removal. Mark bought a cheap crockpot at a garage sale, then used pure white vinegar at 170* for 3 hours to remove the rust from these parts.

"Here is about three hours of de rusting at 170 degrees. You need to rinse with dawn dish soap under hot water and using a parts cleaner brush and a small wire bush to clean the corners (really no effort) flash rust will develop almost before your eyes. Here are the parts sprayed with WD 40 to prevent the flash rust."
