" From: "Bruce Hevner" <scramblr@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " [] " " I turn the heater on the night before I'm ready to use it. Then I pre-wash " the part in a hot (130') spray cleaner to get the grease off. While the part " is still hot I submerge it in the CA and soak for about 3-5 hours. As SOON " as I remove it I spray it with anti-rust because CA removes ALL the oil and " the part will surface rust IMMEDIATELY as soon as it hits the air! this makes phosphoric acid sound better and better... phosphoric leaves a barrier film of iron phosphate behind. this is also a good pre-paint surface prep. " For cold brush on use I would recommend one of the commercial anti-rust " products. I tried one of them in my tank before I went to CA. They are " expensive but they DO work cold. prep 'n strip from the big box store is phosphoric. paint it on, let it work, rinse the excess off. -- colas have phosphoric acid. maybe that's how the urban folklore about cola rust removal started? ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
