From Wikipedia: "Molasses can be used as a chelating agent to remove
rust where a rusted part stays a few weeks in a mixture of 1 part
molasses and 10 parts water."
I wonder how well it works?
Works pretty good. I buy the molasses pellets at the farm store. Then
dump it in hot water to get it to break down faster. Toss the part in
and let it set. Takes a lot longer than electrolysis but it also
requires less equipment.
However it doesn't work at the current temperature in NY !!!
What does? ;-)
