Tool cleaning
I have a old steel t-square (18 X 30) that has become corroded and
dirty to the extent the numbers are hard to read. I have tried a few solvents and steel wool but not much luck. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning this flat steel tool. Thanks Robert |

Rinse well and immediately oil. Ken. |
