Default Rust removal

This isn't the kiddie stuff in the shopping centers -

This stuff is the real nasty stuff that eats drains if it has to.

Limited use from a plummer section.

It is used to dissolve proteins and fat/grease and melt it by a reactive
hot solution. I keep it out of the shop.

Puts a nice gray surface on scale iron - taking the scale off.

I'm not a chemist, but I'm pretty sure most drain cleaners are strong
caustics, not acids
