The Ford Barn

wrndln · 02-13-2011, 09:17 PM

This question is for Fordbarners that have used Evapo Rust. I would like to use some to remove the rust from some parts. I usually sandblast stuff, but with over a foot of snow on the ground, it will be a while until I can sandblast outside where I always do it. Here in MN it is to cold to do outside this time of year anyway. Are there any ill effects in doing the derusting in a shop or garage? I was thinking of putting some brake rods in a 2” PVC tube with Evapo Rust for derusting. I know using some acids will mess up tools and other things in the vicinity. Also, does the temperature make a difference? If I turn the heat off if could get down to almost freezing at night. Thanks for any help.
