Re: [Amc-list] Citric Acid Rust Remover

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

You can get it at a grocery store in that form of lemons, limes, 
oranges, and other citrus fruits. It's not very concentrated but you'll 
get that nice lemony smell for your former rust bucket. 
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=citric+acid shows some places to 
get it, including a place that sells soap ropes (along with other soap 
making supplies) in case you decide to make some Rambler soap on a rope.
