## Description

Metal Rescue Rust Remover Bath is your clean, safe and easy solution to removing rust from iron and steel. It is "safe on everything except rust". Metal Rescue Rust Remover Bath will take rust off the most heavily corroded metal parts, yet is safe enough that you can put your bare hands into it. Just soak, check and rinse/dry. It's that simple.

Review: This product is AMAZING and it really does work! - As a hobby, I restore antique radios from the 1930's and 40's. You can probably imagine, a lot of parts are rusty and a real challenge to clean having many nooks and crannies to the parts. But then I found this wonderful product! A simple soaking of the parts over-night and by the next morning the parts look like they just came off the assembly line! It is safe, has NO odor and only attacks the rust. All plastic, ceramic, rubber parts are totally untouched and unaffected by the bath. This is SO simple. You won't regret this purchase at all!
Review: Amazing... - I was skeptical of all the youtube videos and other information found about this stuff. I used it on an in-frame moped gas tank. The moped sat for over 10 years and the inside of the tank ended up rusting a bit. I bought 1 gallon of this stuff and let it sit in the tank for about 40 hours or so. I probably didn't have to, but the instructions only said not to leave it soaking for longer than 48 hours. I drained it by removing the petcock from the moped frame and it drained beautifully. I used a flexible light to check down into the tank and it was sparkling clean again! I was so amazed! I bought an in-line fuel filter for in between the petcock and carburetor and it is clean so I can see the fuel pass through. It's nice and clean! I took the Metal Rescue that I had drained from the tank and dropped in an old rusted monkey wrench that was frozen solid along with pair of piiars that were frozen/rusted tight. I checked them the next afternoon and they worked just fine as well. The information on the label says it will dissolve up to 1/2 pound of rust. I believe it. I'm also surprised how far 1 gallon will go. I would highly recommend this to someone. I just wish they made it in a gel or something to use on surfaces you can't actually soak.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work to remove rust from painted plant stands?**
A: Personally I use Evapo Rust because its cheaper, biodegradable, safe if contact occurs with your skin or eyes, you can use it on all metals such as chrome which this you can't, and it's safe for painted surfaces where this product you can't. The cost difference varies from place to place. On Amazon this product is between $3-10.00 more than E.R. It also comes in a 3-gallon container with a dipping basket, which is very handy. I use gloves, but you can dip your hand in or scrub the object right in the solution. E.R. can be reused over and over and I've had the same 3 gallons for 3 years!  I restore metal woodworking tools on an average of 3-4 tools/day. Now that longevity!! I would recommend getting E.R. in the 3-gallon container if you can afford it, and you plan to use it often enough to justify the price of $35-$55.00. And no I don't work for E.R., lol. Good luck.

**Q: wanting to put in a tank on a 87 jag without taking off the tank will this stuff in a closed gas tank if i let it set for a day or too?**
A: The directions say not to let parts soak for more than 24 hours at a time. With that said, assuming you fill the tank enough to soak all of the rusted areas AND do the treatment with an ambient temperature of at least 68° (above 75° works faster) it will work. If it's heavily rusted you may need to treat it multiple times. As far as not taking the tank of, so long as you can drain all of the rust remover and the water that is used to deactivate it you'll be good to go (ensure you flush the tank with gasoline at the end).

**Q: will this work on fire scale and boric acid residue?**
A: Metal Rescue only works on iron and steel. If you're talking about iron or steel items that have been exposed to high temperatures or a flame then yes Metal Rescue will dissolve the rust on the surface but it can't do anything about pitting, etching or other surface damage caused by the heat. Any other metal like silver, brass, gold etc Metal Rescue will not have any affect on. Boric acid such as flux? I doubt it would help at all.

**Q: would this work on badly rusted swords from 50+ years ago?**
A: I guess that would depend on how heavily rusted it is....But this stuff WORKS! I've used it on rusty car and motorcycle parts, and it too the rust off. You'll need enough to cover the sword and let it soak, but in my experience....This stuff is great! See my blog post on it at http://groundupcaferacer.wordpress.com/2012/11/22/good-chemistry/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product it does work!
*by W***F on September 30, 2013*

I used this product for two different things, first I tested this on a speaker bracket I found in a junkyard that was lightly rusted put it in something and covered it up after submerging it in metal rescue three hours later perfectly looking brand new! I washed it off dried and painted like a brand new product!. Second thing I used it for is the cooling system in my 87 camaro. The car sat up for 12 years and the cooling system was just full of rust, the motor is from an 76 camaro which you can imagine the amount of that that must have accumulated, after flushing with water around 10 times running the car and doing it again I was getting no where, bought this filled up the system ran it to get the tempt up and had the car sit for 2 days drained it out and flushed it two more times to get the product out the system. Crystal clear where before it was so murky with rust it looked like mud in the cooling system. Worked great! After 3 months I'm getting a little residual rust like flakes at the top but still crystal clear water and antifreeze mix! Highly recommend for cleaning a cooling system, as far as people saying this doesn't work for there has tanks there is alot of things you could do to help this process of such as using air to clean out the tank, getting any dirt and such out, when you fill the tank put a cover over it and leave it for a few days dump it out and wash then add more this product works and alot of rust takes time to eat away.
