What should I use to remove the stain? I tried bleach and it does not
work. It feels rather rough and even powderly at the stained area.


Thanks


Whink, mild HF acid


HF? OMG! NEVER!

Even the tiniest amount of the most diluted Hydrofluoric acid is a calcium
blocker and will stop your heart. The treatment for HF poisoning is
hit-and-miss.

I think you meant HCl or hydrochloric acid, sometimes called Muriatic acid.
Be prepared for fumes and set up some good ventilation.


Read the label. HF acid.

I tried to etch glass with it, but too dilute.

Instantly removes rust stains almost anywhere. Keep it off aluminum.

Less than $3 a bottle, from memory.
