Just a couple of thoughts on liquid rust remover. If it's wet it's working. Spray the piece down place a paper towel over it and then spray it again. Heavy surface rust should be gone in 30 to 60 minutes. Scrub it with Scotch bright pad and water, dry it off. I usually dampen the paper towel with the rust remover and wipe the piece down one direction so that I can store it for months indoors While I was in Atlantic City doing a show they were stripping rust in the booth alongside my mine. They brought in a model T door that was all rust. They spray the rust remover on and nothing happened for 30 minutes. Wise *** that I am I started teasing the girl her name was Sherry and she was quite a stripper. She says there's paint under here that's why the rust is not dissolving. I would have bet a hundred bucks that there was no paint on the door anywhere. She sprayed paint stripper on the door and it started to turn black, the paint was coming up through the rust. She s****ed it off, hit with the rust remover and in short order we had a clean model T door.So if it doesn't buge check it for paint and remember that paint removers and rust remover's if it's wet there working. They both work better warmer temperatures and out of the sun .
In this particular case it was Capt. Lee's.This is a phosphoric acid with solvent and zinc. These are your most aggressive for removing rust.. Brands that make this type of rust remover, are Eastwood, POR 15 Ospho, Mastercoat which copied Capt. Lee's after he closed up shop .Check SDS sheets if they say phosphoric acid, Glycol and zinc that is your active ingredients That should provide pretty quick results
i like OSPHO. spray it on with a hand spray bottle, move it around with a toothbrush, let it dry, paint with oil based paint. then put the toothbrush back on the vanity.
Looks good I always liked it. I used to like a product called Sem Rust Mort too. I'm a firm believer in metal prep and some conversion coatings
