Here are pix of (I think) wrought iron yard furniture that I have
allowed to deteriorate for years. Rusted to hell.

I really like the furniture, esp. the table has a lovely glass top
that I put in. So I would like to rehab. them.

But is this feasible as a DIY job? In terms of time and effort?

If anybody thinks it's worth a try, what would you use to remove the
rust and prep for repainting? I have heard good and bad about Naval
Jelly. Is there a "professional" product that would do a better job?

TIA for any help.

This is a new Tiny Pic account, so hope it comes through OK.

Have it sandblasted. That leaves you with clean
rustfree iron.
Then paint things.

Same company that does sandblasting can probably put on a protective
coating before the flash rust gets started. Look for 'metal finishing'
in yellow pages. It will be a couple hundred bucks, though, and you will
need to take it to them in pieces.
