Rust and Paint Removal:
This tip concerns rust and paint removal. I have been using the method
outlined at the link:
http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/electrolytic_derusting.htm lately
in the restoration of some of my under hood ancillary items, such as the
heater, wiper motor/gear, radiator shroud, and various brackets. These
items have a combination of the original black paint and surface rust.
My goal was to remove the original paint and the rust and then repaint
the items for reinstallation. I have found this 'electrolytic
de-rusting method' to be very effective - it is non-toxic, safe and does
not hurt un-rusted metal. Also, as an added bonus, it completely strips
the original paint back to bare metal. It has turned what I thought
would be a long, terribly messy job into a pleasure.
