- VINEGAR Cleans Heavily Rusted Metal FAST.
This is the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to remove rust or clean off rust. It is nothing but inexpensive white vinegar that you can buy anywhere. This only took a few hours to clean off all the rust. If you have to clean off extremely heavy rust it may take a couple days of soaking the rusty part in a 50% solution of white vinegar and water. It always works to safely remove all the rust, if you let the vinegar work long enough and give it enough time.
I dropped a bottle of vinegar on the floor of my garage when I was rushing unloading groceries. When I went back to clean it up, the cement was like brand new where the vinegar spilled.
Gotta love glass bottles! That was one of those blessings in disguise.
Did your spouse throw a fit and demand you do the rest of the garage floor?
inspiredmessenger I'll try it...hate when hubby changes the oil filter😥
I laughed way too hard at this
Same!
This is really cool, now how do I get my whole truck frame submerged.
Haha! I know right?
+Juan Villa Got a swimming pool? XD
maybe try creating a vinegar based paste or gel or oil?
+Juan Villa
It dissolves the rust because of PH differnce, so could use lye or baking soda and just mix that with some water. If you want to use vinegar, there's a way to create a powder of it.
alot of vinegar
Thank you! I bought a pool, filled it with vinegar and parked my truck in it. She's like new !!
Instructions unclear. Used vinegar as instructed... rust still tastes terrible.
lmbo!
Just add the same amount of a quality vegetable oil and add everything to a salad. Tastes much better. Oh, and have a beer (or 7).
..and spit out the metal before chewing commences :-)

wiener stuck in beer bottle. Wat now?
just did this with 10 WWII Thompson magazines. They were just block of rust, non functioning. 48 hours in vinegar bath, the rust wiped off. disassembled them, cleaned them out, buffed them, and blued them. they worked perfectly. all 10 ran 30 rounds each, no hang ups. Vinegar works better than Naval Jelly or any other product.
Loki Fults did you use water also? Or just vinegar ?
Great thanks! Now I convinced of soaking my Mosin Nagant in vinegar!
James M there is 80 ml. water in one litter vinagre.
Vinegar works! My pickles are completely rust free
Good demo. Just a side note, it's a good idea to rinse in a base like baking soda and water after using vinegar to counteract the effects of the acid.
+Guitar Whores why?
Ritchard posterior like I said, to counteract the effects of the vinegar. It will continue to eat into the metal unless a base is applied. When done rinsing with baking soda and water, then oil it to prevent rusting.
+Guitar Whores I agree. I'm actually wondering if the vinegar is eating the iron under the rust, causing it to come loose. The vinegar still looks clear, and when he rubs the rust it doesn't look like it is dissolving at all. I think we need some chemistry help from +Nile Red for this :)
+Jeff Parks NO. You could leave the vinegar there for years. No problem.
bro.....
Vinegar is acetic acid.
Also, this is inorganic chemistry, not organic chemistry.
Also, metals dissolve in low pH conditions, not just their oxides. Basic metal finishing processes require that metal finishing processes such as plating occur in low pH conditions so as to better dissolve the desired metal to be plated. The part needs to be brought back into a high pH condition after the finishing process so that the metal doesn't remain coated in a low-pH solution, which will continue to dissolve metals until saturated.
Bro.
The only reason leaving it for years has worked for the OP is that the solution first eventually reaches an equilibrium, and then the solution eventually gets washed away or removed by other means. It technically is best to expose metals to a higher pH solution after applying a low pH wash, even though the amount of metal that the vinegar would remove would be pretty minimal as just a spray wash.
Surprised how easy that came off- and it was *pretty heavily rusted too* 😮
I just used vinegar and a green scotch bright pad (not very abrasive) to get the rust off my stainless steel grill. I can't believe how easy the rust came off. Worked perfect, thanks for the great video!
How has it held up?
Best of all its non toxic.the best cleaner for washing walls too.fly poos and greasy film,nicotine.all the hard stuff just wipes off.
Also only thing to really get rid of cats pee stink.also urine that has soaked into tile grout. Yay for white vinegar.make sure to dilute with water if using on carpet,then rinse off.

It always works. Give it more time. I cleaned out extremely corroded gas tanks to perfect gray-colored metal using vinegar. With one really bad gas tank it took 5 days , but it worked. It always works.

water rusts metal,
wrong, oxygen does
Do I have to take the tank off?
If you have a way to drain it real good, you could get away with leaving the tank in.
My grandfather passed away some years ago and he left behind many trinkets including a stainless steel pocket knife. It doesn't look too old however the hinges for the blade and other parts are badly rusted. I definitely have to test this out! If it works, I will do the same with the head of an old hammer I found buried in the backyard.
did it work ?
Ian B33 ha
Vinegar is acidic. Full strength won't hurt anything. CLR or The Works bathroom fixture cleaner works good too. I once brought a very rusted ratchet back to life with The Works. There are 3 steps. 1st soak your steel in acid to dissolve the rust, 2nd spray the metal with baking soda water to neutralize the acid and finally, spray the metal with WD-40 to displace any moisture so it doesn't rust again. You could even use acid from a dead car battery. Just don't forget to neutralize the acid after the rust is gone.
I was wondering how to get the baking soda on. Thanks.
Van Alstyne just mix baking soda and water together in a plastic spray bottle. spray it on and let it fizz. Repeat until it doesn't fizz anymore. Don't forget to displace remaining miosture with WD-40.
At what point do you wash the WD-40 off? And how long do you have to keep the baking soda and water on there and a WD-40 on there?
c b wd.40 is to stay there for ever 'till the day you decide to paint the rusted part; otherwise it will come back again and much harcher than never. With wd.40 acid and water just fly away and cause no more rust . Use it immidiatelly after cleaning with water , vinegar , acid , brush ,,, mandatory.
@@CB-ep8mf I generously spray WD-40 on, let it sit a few minutes, then use a paper towel to rub it in, while simultaneously soaking up any excess. (You can't really have "too much" WD-40, it's just my preference.) If you have just a small spot of rust, WD-40 is also good by itself.
I cleaned up a Walker Turner Drill Press I was given using conventional methods such as wire wheels and scrubbers. I didn't even do a good job at it. Now you have me so convinced that this will work I am going to buy 5 gallons of this and take the drill press apart again to get the rest of the rust off, the wire wheels I have just might help in the removal after I let the parts sit for awhile. Wish me luck.
+WolfBearMoon lol same did it work tho?
It worked pretty well. There are definitely more steps than just laying the part in the vinegar. You also have to wash the parts after the fact, and put them in a solution of Baking Soda and Water for around 10 minutes, then dry them off and use WD-40 or an oil that prevents rust and rub it all over the part.
+WolfBearMoon cool thanks for the tips! Im definitely gonna try this but first with some Allen wrenches before I use it on my drill press
That sounds like a good idea. I hope your restoration goes well. Good luck!
I really thought this was total BS, but I purchased a used 12-foot trailer and it was in pretty good shape except the fenders and rail were rusty in spots. I thought, "what the heck I'll give this a try and see what happens." I brush on 5% apple cider vinegar and kept it wet for about a half hour. Sure enough, the rust came off easily, nice and clean metal fenders appeared. Now I had to figure out a way to apply the vinegar to the rails and other fenders, I thought I might try using old towels and soaking them in vinegar and wrapping them around the infected areas. We'll see what happens.
Well, what now?!
Did it work?
Sky High “”One long very long amount of time later””(French Accent)...!
Ya have RESPECT AND DONT BE SO JUDGEMENTAL BECAUSE HE PUT OUT A EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Yo has it worked now?
I just did a big metal sign completely rusted on the back after 12 years outside, and coming through on the picture side on the front. I made a shallow bath using plastic on the long patio table. It worked great but I did it twice as the rust was very thick, the first time I left it overnight. It went back to metal and also stripped all the paint off the picture side which was what I wanted. It started to rust again once the vinegar was washed off so with the metal still wet I sprinkled a liberal coating of BICARB SODA all over, first one side then the other and it completely arrested the rust, I left it till dry then brushed it off. Amazing, best job I've ever seen.
WOW. My harley's tank inside was rusted out so the dealership said they would take care of it for $400 but shit, i could have just filled it up with vinegar and taken a sponge to the inside of it after watching this. Amazing!
Drinking Game: Whenever he says "heavily rusted."
im drunk af now
Merely i livw thos gsmw 🍺🍻
Merely I told my brother and we got shitfaced
Oh hell yes
4 shots
You know what else vinegar is good for? French fries. I've noticed my french fries are always free of rust.
yeah its good
Oscar Groucho yeah man it really tastes good, cooking it in vinegar.
Make sure you put the vinegar on first so the salt sticks to the fries.
Oscar Groucho you went to Ocean city?
Lmao
I have been using vinegar as rust removal for many years.
It is cheap , safe to handle and works very will.
The trick is to mix with water 50 50 , ,submerge the rusty part in the solution and leave it for a week or 2.
Pressure wash the defrosted part and paint.
You have to give time to work.
Good video bud,
Thanks for sharing.
Time to soak the ol Ford with Vinegar!
Lusterburn Haa! I thought the same thing! Bring on the Chicago winters! (ok, don't, but......lol)
Vinegar and baking soda in a spray bottle.
Not sure what it'd do to the paint though.
Vinegar and baking soda will neutralize each other.
syyenergy7 BUBBLES!!!
Lusterburn ha ,was just thinking how to get the top of my fenders on the 63 ford
yeh, vinegar is the ultimate rust remover and it's super cheap but the best part is you don't need a $5000 bio-hazard suit to apply it...100% safe
the people that disliked this are just salty because they have to rub it off and don't want to
Yep it works. Learnt this from old ship builder. How did they stop rust on bolts and rivets? Heat and drop in oil. No fancy chemicals in them days
This has to be the most helpful of all the vinegar bath videos I've seen. I have a bunch of rusty metal washers that I want to clean up and recycle. Because I am recycling, I'm trying to not spend any money unless I have too, plus I just don't want to buy new washers when I have a jar full of so many sizes at my disposal. Vinegar is chemical free and something that works wonders on so many different things, so I'm really excited to try this. I know it might take some time, but you can't beat something that's laying around your kitchen!
+SteviiLove Lol nothing is chemical free..... Everythig has chemicals in it. Vinegars chemical formula is NaHCO3, meaning it's made of one sodium atom, one hydrogen atom, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms. Vinegar is a mixture of acetic acid and water. Dilute acetic acid is the chemical name for vinegar, and its chemical formula is CH3COOH. And it is mildly acidic which means it can be dangerous.
+byrysh Amazing how some people think they aren't using "chemicals" when they use something "natural". Someone didn't pay attention in chemistry class or took astrology as their science elective.
jockellis
LOL Just like alchemy is a good way to earn a living...
+jockellis Well, people have to learn sometime. This is why reading helpful comments is good.
+byrysh Your main point is right - everything has chemicals in it. But your first formula is not for vinegar, NaHCo3 is sodium bicarbonate.
Not a big surprise since vinegar knocks the bluing off a gun rather quickly which all bluing on a gun consists of is converted rust.
Vinegar is a mild acid and gets rid of rust rather fast but is mild enough to not eat anything else away.
evilcowboy as i don't own a gun, it is a surprise to me. i've been using a wire brush without much luck.
Gun Blue paste is another acid as Vinegar.... is Selenious Acid... it corrodes the metal and it turns dark bluish color...
- today i cleaned the old table saw my dad had built in the 70ies.
i took *vinegar essence* which is much stronger than vinegar - and yes it took away all the rust in a few minutes.
i had it set for about 10 to 20 mins and then sanded by hand while wet - found that the 240 is still a bit too heavy but takes off the worst parts. the 400 paper is good for finishing
after wiping away all the dirt i sanded again with some W40
used some 00 steel wool too to get deeper into the slot parts
will do this on all other machines in the shop - works great !
Woman mind: stand and scrub for minutes with all your effort
Man mind: whats the quickest way i can clean this thing with no effort
hahahah ""cooking pan" "cookie pan" whatever the hell you wanna all it" hashaha i love it !
I used vinegar, worked well.. but I did notice surface rust appears (pretty quickly) so might want to paint or coat the metal asap to help prevent it rusty again.
+sypher0101
durp.. use distilled water... drinking water has shit in it..
chris tragedia Distilled water for what ?
tap water has shiz
in it.. distilled has nothing in it.. iron and such..
He didn't say anything about using tap water. He used vinegar. After the vinegar rinse in distilled water and baking soda then use some sort of oil based thing to coat the metal as like diesel fuel, 50/1 fuel, gasoline, or WD-40 or something lol
I like your victorious laugh :) Well done!
Acid in the vinegar is a great tool. Stinking Carpets are cleaned with vinegar in the tank with/wo carpet soap. The acid kills bacteria. So, maybe the tetanus would be killed as well. Great Vid!
Wow that works great. If you have just a little surface rust, wet a piece of aluminum foil and it will come right off.
Funny thing is if vinegar was bottled as a tank rust remover people would rave how good it was at removing rust lol.
someone would already have done that if it wasnt for that smell
Shhhhh don't steal my idea
drifter13 I'll just say it's vinegar scented
@@YTRINX genius
Alden Fox wtf this was a year ago
Dude I love vinegar!! Its like THE most essential house shit ever.
Thanks! I tried this and it worked way beyond my expectations.
Saved some hopelessly rusty tools.
It does weaken it a little, but not much more than rust did. I use vinegar for everything it's awesome, just keep it away from rubber.
Masked of a small part of my car door that had rust, it's a pretty rust free car in general but the car door and trunk lid had some rust, worked nicely but it took some damned time because i had to regularly go outside to spray, what i found worked best is to just take a piece of cotton and soak it and then tape it or hold it on just lean a plank onto the soaked cotton ball or cloth or whathaveyou and it stays there keeping it wet.
+Ismail Dikajev haaa
+Ismail Dikajev lmfao!! good call!
When he scratched the rust to show how heavy it was I cringed
glad im not alone in this. Like when u scoop gravel up off concrete with a metal scoop shovel
Cutting drywall makes my hair stand up
Any type of brushing or sandpapering gives me goosebumps
redrabbit11 its pretty heavily rusted too
i like the taste of rusty spoons
i've been using apple cider vinegar. it works excellent. no need to buy expensive stuff. vinegar works very very well - thx!
I've been using vinegar for some years and satisfied with result eventhough have to wait a few hours to let it does the job. I choose this methode among several other ways because it is easier, easy to find the stuff on every groceries with pretty much affordable price and the most safe methode compared with the others
i'm heading out today to work this magic on some old rims. have you tried adding salt to the vinegar?
I've been an automotive technician for decades and have tried EVERY special chemical for rust removal, and they're all either crap or so caustic you don't want to have anything to do with them. Just up until recently I thought I had tried everything.... So I saw all this on here and had to clean a goldwing tank but as anyone knows they're horrible horrible horrible to remove so I decided what the heck. Let's try the vinegar.... I was lazy, and left the tank in the bike... Just used straight vinegar and no water and no salt. Left it for 24 hours... Drained it then sprayed pressurized scalding hot water and bizam! Clean as a whistle!!! neutralized it. Dried it. Fogged it with yamalube to keep it from flash rusting and is perfect and maybe took me an hour and a half to do.
Yep, I cleaned several gas tanks this way. RedKote them after all the rust is removed and then they'll last forever.
rust is so satisfying for no reason
I saw this somewhere: Combine 1 teaspoon salt with 1 cup (240 mL) of vinegar. Add ¼ cup (30 g) of flour and stir until a paste forms.
I'll try it and let you know how it works.
minus the flour and yes it works
I’m gonna give it a try with my lifting chains which were used on the beach and got a lot of heavy rust onm.I’ll give you an update in a few days
Apple Cider vinegar works better,. Especially for pitted metal, or molasses. Molasses takes longer though.
Wow, Awesome. I am re-ferbishing an old wine barrel and this is working superbly on the metal rings. Thank you.
Wow...I would NEVER have thought this would work and it's NON TOXIC!! Thanks.
wow i see why vinegar is also used for hygiene, its pretty affective!
I sanded and soaked a railroad spike and it's clean as silver
It works just takes time. Gotta make sure the part is free of grease or the vinegar won’t work it’s magic.
We just used a heavy duty version of the Works that had 23% HCl. It was about $7 and ate through a quarter inch of rust in about 10 minuets. Its bubbles are hot and it causes chemical burns but if you use gloves in a well ventilated area it'll work really well.
Hmm, how would you go about getting rust off something to big to submerge? Soak a towel and wrap with plastic maybe?
This awesome! Any advise on how to do this on a heavily rusted/corroded knitting machine needle bed that is too big to be soaked? Thanks for showing this
I put rags around my kitchen fioricet and soak them with vinegar for hard water build up and i keep them wet. so you could drape vinegar soaked rags over items that cant be put in a bucket
Works faster in a hot environment. The chemical reaction is slower in the cold. Need to do this for my food dehydrator racks. Instead of using stainless, Cabella's used mild steel coated with some kind of thin plastic that cracks and breaks off after a few batches of jerky.
Another interesting thing about vinegar even in the 10 grain commercial strength it is a food product. As food it does not require EPA tracking and accountability. It can be poured down the drain unlike other acids. It can be purchased in 55 gallon containers
Very Nice, this is the method I use for all of my saw restorations
+syyenergy7 I'm thinking about all the tools I've thrown away now? I'll have to try this. Is it advisable not to use 100% vinegar or is there a specific reason to mix 50/50 with water?
Dilute Muriatic acid with water about 5/1 and in two days they will look new. Muriatic acid at Home Depot. Be sure to neutralize with baking soda, then wd 40
Serioously? I have that here for my pool. I'm going to give it a shot, thanks!
Just to answer the question of why buy some product when you can use vinegar...most rust removers are phosphoric acid, they leave a P passivated surface. Not as effective as Zinc for corrosion protection but better protected than a bare metal surface that has just been acid-etched. Surface is also black so cosmetically not ideal for some things but if I am going to paint I would always use a phosphoric acid product instead of something that leaves bare steel to flash rust immediately. If you are going for shiny metal then sure, acid-etch and neutralize then wax or the like to keep it from rusting.
How to use phosporic acid and how do you clean it after removing the rust? I tried vineager first and after cleaning the metal it suffered from flash rust in minutes. Im stucked here because I want to apply primer or paint after removing the rust, but flash rust is evil.
Thank you folks for the tips, I kept going with the videos and found a video where the straight vinegar eats at the metal a bit, and so I'm trying the baking soda & lemon and have left it overnight, and I'll get back to you all...
"Cooking Pan, baking Pan, or whatever the hell you wanna call it" 😂😂😂😂
Viki grl I laughed at that too
Sweetie it's called a COOKIE SHEET. LOL. LISTEN TOO GRAMMA SHE KNOWS BEST.
i live in England if it rained vinegar our rust problems would be sorted.
Trying this out on a small mid-century patio table that has seen better days and will, hopefully, soon be seeing some more...
Adding rick salt to 50 % white vinegar makes it work even better
You said 50% vinegar, that means you diluted the bottle 50%? Because vinegar in the bottle is only 5% acetic acid so you diluted it to 2.5%
+MrReasonablethinker he doesn't have a 50% acid solution. he has a 50% vinegar solution. Which is indeed very dilute.. 100 % ( or even 50% ) acetic acid would in fact be so strong that it would etch the metal as well as taking away the rust.
+Steve Whitsett btw after re reading your post, I believe we may be saying the same thing.
Vinegar is produced by bacteria. Anything too strong would kill the bacteria that made it.
MrReasonablethinker
Not only was it not a stupid question, it was such a smart one that it was over your head. The original dude thinks you have to add water to activate the acid or it won't work, the way you have to add 100% sulfuric acid to water to make it into an actual acid. They sell pure H2SO4 which is 100% sulfuric acid. It's a syrupy liquid. It doesn't do anything unless you add it to water. But the genius here thinks pure vinegar is the same way, he doesn't know that vinegar is already 95% water and thinks that adding more water to it activates it. Dumbass.
Steve Whitsett
You don't know whether 100% acetic acid will etch the metal. You're just making that up.
The problem with any acid on a metal is flash rusting once it dries!
Gotta put something on the part right away; if you're going to paint you have to paint. If you're going to use the part by itself you've got to clean it off with borax dissolved in water, then put some WD40 on it or something to keep the moisture in the air from the metal.
'Warning you! I MAKE rust-remover products and this is the side of it that nobody wants to show!
I use coconut oil on everything. Even mechanical parts. It works! I'm about to use it on my washing machine parts that are rusted. I LOVE vinegar!
ParadoxPerspective thanks
Borax dissolved in normal water? What is the problem exactly? Is it the leftovers of the vinegar (just like the leftovers of normal water in electronics cause corrosion?) I am just curious, not correcting, me myself i don't know anything really, but wouldn't using 99,9% Isopropanol-Alkohol be effective to for that purpose? Maybe just to expensive... Or is it also about adding an additional layer of coat (for protection)? Is that what normal oil or WD40 are doing?
I also don't really understand what "keep the moisture in the air from the metal" means,,quite a lot of questions but i'd be nice if you could answer just one :D
Jawash Asalan means : ' keep the moisture ( humidity ) OUT of the treated area [ the acid , the water , and other corrosive elements ] ... That is the job of wd.40. , or coocking-oil. Then ,,, Paint later on ; should you decide so.
old gregg YES : Deffinetlly.
I sometimes use vinegar and a dash of salt in a saucer to "clean" old dirty pennies. It amazes children (and some adults).
No electrolysis is involved in that.
They come out looking like new, but all I think happens is that the dirty/ oxidized surfaces are chemically altered to be clear.
It may work differently with iron and steel, especially if there's no salt present.
I'm an 75 year old man,and my young female neighbor has been gardening with one of them Jee strings on exactly at 8am when I sit out on my porch. She always asks me if I have 2 pops left..I always keep my refrigerator stocked with Soda Pops just for her.
Does this guy voice garfield?
sounds like it

Haha XD
No he is Ricky from the trailer park boys!!!!!
Dont scrub it with your hand lol
Vinegar is mostly acetic acid ( a bit like acetone), that's why it cuts the rust away. It's good with baking soda as a polish for chrome and for oxidised plastic headlight covers. Good video, btw. :)
+tripsadelica vinegar (acid) + baking soda (base) = violent chemical reaction resulting in H2O
Good to know, Brought my newer Jeep Grand Cherokee to Florida near the ocean and in three months my nice rust free engine is rusted to shit everywhere. I have been freaking out. I just bought the thing this year.
Can i use it on my wife's face? I was thinking of a paste to apply as a facemask overnight x 2 - 3 days she'd be almost good as she was 25 yrs ago when we got married....😆
Hey guy how about you ,you still look the same as you were 25 years ago of course not she can say same thing about you too 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ron Danino white knight
It's a joooooooooke
I suggest you try it on your face first to find out if it works Please get back to us with the outcome. 😂😂😂
can I use vinegar to remove hemeroids from my ass
White vinegar only on that one!!! LOL
jjrimz99 try vinegar enema! Does wonders when constipated.
jjrimz99 test it ill watch the vid
Yes
jjrimz99 Apple Cider vinegar!...
it really works!! i used sherry vinegar sea salt and baking powder, all rust gone with a little toothbrush scrub 👍
i use hot vinegar to turn some of my blades dark and keep them from rusting so easyly
dont use your fingers on rust like that again holy shit bro that wasnt a good idea use gloves rust is very toxic
sandra gaudio It really isn't. Adverse effects doesn't come into play unless you eat grams of it, and it doesn't start getting dangerous unless you eat tablespoons of powdered iron/iron oxides. Iron oxides are pretty unreactive at room temperature, and the particles are way too large to make their way into the bloodstream via the skin.
Long term skin contact can lead to dry skin or even a rash, but it isn't very toxic at all.
There are seriously toxic iron compounds though, but none of those are a part of rust.
oh ok
Buick Regal That's because tetanus is caused by bacteria, that mostly is found in soil. The reason you need a tetanus shot after stepping on sharp rusty objects is that most of them are dirty, and the porous surface is very well suited for the bacteria that causes lockjaw.
Buick Regal What Ludwig Ekner said.
If you suffer a puncture wound with an object that's been left outside, rusty or not, if you're not up on your tetnus shots, you need to get one *immediately*.
Lockjaw is nothing to chance--it'll make you miserable for a long while.
Oh crap the RUclips doctor is here
Thanks for the knowledge! Have a 71 K15 GMC longbed truck that is rusted like this sheet of metal in your video. Can't wait to try it today!
A 50% solution of your typical white vinegar at 5% acid, makes a 2.5% acid solution. Which isn't particularly strong.
Personally I think Citric acid is a better option as it can be applied quite easily as it's in crystal form, so you can just mix up what you like. 2 tablespoons to descale a kettle for example. It works much faster than vinegar.
Vinegar will also dissolve small fish bones (like a Pike's). Lay a fillet in vinegar for about 10 minutes then rinse the fillet with water. All the small bones are softer than the meat. If it's a bigger fish, let it soak for 15 minutes.
Im going to try it for my favourite safety boots. Ive been thinking for a while on how to rust it off 😢 tq for sharing!! 💓💓💓
I am doing this right now with an old ratchet wine press. Can't see it working yet. Been soaking for a couple of hours.
you should be like a scientist or something
use bottles of lemon juice.
it's even better and it won't stink the joint up like vinegar.
That looked like a good example to me and I'm really skeptical about these show and tells. Good Job
i use vinegar all the time, old rusted bolts, mechanical parts, underbody of my jeep i even soaked an old towel in vinegar and slapped it on the rusted diff cover, then toothbrushed all the crap off and it looks like it came off the assembly line...
bolts are good, as they can't be sanded anyway just chuck them in a bucket and bling!
there's always a bit of damage left over from pitting caused by the rust, but if you have machined surfaces on there then you avoid damaging those...
few layers of paint and you'll never know.
In Holland the vinegar is watered down. It was one of the first things I noticed when I moved to Holland. They have cleaning vinegar in hardware stores. I know in the UK the vinegar was much stronger.
Sir I love you. I’ve been stressing about cleaning the rust off of my Briggs engine cover.
Dude! I'm really glad I found this video I discovered your channel when I was looking for info on that spooky machine and now I see you are a jack of all trades ova here. Being from MA myself it's nice to hear a familiar accent. Thanks again!
how about put it in a spray bottle and applied it to under the car to remove rust, does it sound like a good idea?
That's what I wanted to get rust off of! The bottom grill under the front of my Jeep. I'm going to try it without taking the grill off. Thanks!
i'm using this tomorrow on my 7x12 dump trailer. i'm truly amazed
Wow, seems white vinegar can be used to clean a lot of different things but I didn't know rust was one of them
u just saved me spend hundreds on cleaning rust of my rims lovein it
Gonna do this on my fire pit to prop for spraying over. Thanks for sharing.
dont mix with water just use it straight up how it is it, works faster
Thanks. I need to remove the rust from the removable metal grate of my platform bird feeder and this should do the trick very easily.
Thank you! I'll remember that one. I never would have thought it would take THAT much rust off. :-)
Removes rust and you can put it on your chips when you're done! Lovely.
Yep it worked a treat, chains look better than before I used them on the beach. Thanks for the video 👍. What’s something you can use from the pantry to keep m in a reasonable condition with out the rusty crap staining your hands.
