I recently tried using Nick Engle's potato solution for getting rid of
rust. I found it searching the internet and decided not to do the
reverse electrolytic process I had found.

I am not sure this method of using potatoes was a good idea. I think I
could have gotten the same results without the potatoes using just oil
and elbow grease. The biggest downside is the stink of the potato
solution, and now the tools stink. I can't get rid of the stink.

I don't recommend this. I have tried mineral spirits, acetone, alchohol,
etc... nothing will get rid of the smell. 1month after it still stinks.

Go electrolytic, don't follow his advice it is bad.... real bad.

Soak them in gravy.

Or melt some cheese on them.
