Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works good Works very well , I used it not only on iron/steel but aluminum Stromberg 97 bodies and it did I great job. Caution! Do not leave aluminum in longer that 10-15 minutes as it will eat it up but I had no issue with the short about of time I left it in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great at removing rust but be sure to neutralize I've used Eastwood products to remove rust for years. Be careful. It is a dangerous chemical and is harmful to skin. After removing rust, be sure to wash the part and apply a protective coating right away. If you don't, you will quickly have a rusty part again. Some auto parts I coat in a light oil. Sometimes I use Eastwood's paint prep and paint the part as soon as the prep is dry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rust dissolver I diluted a batch of 4 to 1 and the results were amazing. I did no pre-cleaning or anything to see how 40+ years of rust would come up and even being diluted it all came up.

Questions & Answers

Can it be used on an aluminum pontoon toon?

Asked by: Barry
The Gel and Liquid Dissolver are acid based solutions and can damage Aluminum. We would not recommend this be used for an application of this sort.

I have a Dewalt titanium coated drill bet set that got wet. All the bits have spot rust. Will this remover damage the titanium coating if I soak them?

Asked by: Mike
Just a correction, the product states “Acid Free”, but most likely, your bits have either lost some coating or are dirty from some very small metal shavings or the water that came in contact was imbedded with iron oxide from another tool. If the bits are sharp and functioning, wipe them down with a spray lubricant.

After application do you wash it off before paint/primer and if so with what?  Also what kind of primer to use after. Application?  

Asked by: EJ1957
Yes, this is to be removed before proceeding. The instructions state to rinse with water but Acetone would be a better option. As far as primer- a sealing primer should be used like Epoxy or Self Etch.

Can I use this to remove bubbled up corroded rust on my metal support beams, not sure what type of steel they are?

Asked by: Terri
If there is no existing paint down then yes. You will still want to use a wire brush/disc to knock off as much lose or scaling rust as you can prior to applying and using this.

I used this product to remove rust from some old nuts and bolts and they have become copper plated. why?

Asked by: Algy
Some manufacturers use copper plating as an intial plating step, to obtain better adhestion of the next coating, in a longer series of layered plating steps. I suspect your bolts lost the outer plating coating(s) and were left with (some of) the original copper plating coat after rust removal cleaning. Unsure how that coating would then behave soaking in rust remover.

Hi, will your product work on a gun without removing the blueing?

Asked by: Tzp50
If the gun blue is rust based ("rust bluing", a somewhat lengthy process) then essentially all rust disolvers will remove the gun bluing along with the other rust. Evapo-rust product will remove gun blue also. Is why gunsmiths have hot salt bluing tanks and or hot boxes to reblue rusted guns. The latter (salt solution/ hot box/ rust bluing) you can do yourself if you are careful. Google it. Some antique machinist tools were blued and essentially all rust removers will remove that bluing down to metal as well.
