om...
can anyone tell me if potassium hydroxide is any good at removing
rust? i am going to boil it(mixed with water) at about 200f and use it
to remove rust from a car engine. what do you think?

Try mollasses, mixed one part mollasses to four parts water. It wont hurt
the good metal it you keep it completely submurged, but it is slow. You can
get mollasses cheap in bulk at the produce store, they feed it to horses to
keep them shiney!

regards,

John
