    When you use any acid product, you need to soak the part in a baking soda and water mix after the rust is removed to neutralize any acid left in microscopic pores in the metal.

    I have used regular vinegar many times..I let it sit 2 days, rince out, wash off the black remnants, and soak it 1 to 2 days more. It isn't as fast but works great. I heat the metal after washing and put oil on it right away. The items are pron to re-rust without putting oil. Most all of my "tools" have been purchased at yard sale. I will offer $2 or $5 for the entire box of rusted tools. What a bargain for a little homemaker who doesn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on tools I rarely use.💪😉

    Interesting video. I've always used the CLR for light duty rust removal. Brush cleaning was always a part of that. The Muriatic Acid you used is extremely strong. I use that for cleaning & bleaching concrete. Your Bonsai scissors look so rusted that I would expect much of the metal to be in the form of rust and will leave a useless tool once you clean it. I will be waiting for your follow up video to see if that's correct. One thought I had as I watched the entire video is: "wouldn't the cost and labor of most of your treatments make a replacement of the rusted part a better option"??

    The issue your not taking into consideration is the High level Acids like 75% vinegar and Muriatic acid or really Hydrochloric acid not only removes rust but the good metal too. where as Evaporust, WD40, Rust Dissolver and other products will remove the rust & not damage the base metals. If you want fast and complete use 90% vinegar & electrolysis in a well vented area. Lol Nice test, good video.

    Good practical test. Something to watch for however - Hydrogen Embrittlement. Especially with all the test spring models. Once your visual test is complete, the next phase begins. Namely how strong or resistant to breakage remains in the springs. As a plumber who would insert an 11/16” diameter cable into a 2” pipe apartment tenants would not always be forthright with me as to what they had put in the line. I would find out later when my 11/16” cable would snap in two.

    Acid cleans well, but always leaves a rust-producing residue. Even when rinsing or washing-off with an Alkali solution to neutralize the Acid, an Acid residue always seems to accelerate rust into perpetuity. Am always looking for non-Acidic rust-removers for that reason.

    But of course there is rust removal with the means of electrolysis as well! When I was young , as a field trip, I got to
    tour a electro chemical tooling plant for the electro machining process for tooling of various parts, made out of iron/
    steel and alike! Now I founded that to be very fascinating without a doubt in my mind! Also when I was a kid, I was
    into engine building and vehicle repair and so if it required of me to send a completely stripped down engine block
    out to a shop that had a huge vat or none other than a huge holding tank to have the block lowered into this acid'/
    water mix, or none other than a hot tank, the acid solution or caustic soda/ water mix that was used, I have no
    real definitive way of telling you just what that was, BUT I suspect that either the engine block was sprayed down
    with a higher strength of oven type cleaner, at least 2-3 times to dissolved baked on oil/grease, paint and rust first
    and long before that engine block was lowered into the so called hot tank that had a propane fired burner that would
    get that hot water up to oh say at least 180 degrees or even higher. That holding tank most likely had a circulation
    pump for that water of at least some means to aid the ridding of the particulates that flaked off and filter out the
    garbage also by some means and so the block was to remain in that holding tank for I think that of 2-3 hours before
    it was to be extracted, and thus a highly pressurized steam jenny hot water to finish blasting the rest of debris and
    junk off, while the temperature of that steam jenny was perhaps in excess of 212 degrees to make that block clean
    as slick as a whistle to eat off of! There may have actually been a grand total of a 3-4 step process to complete this
    undertaking and so I also suspect that a foaming type oven cleaner was used as for the first step and allowed to
    just set on the block's surface for I want to say up to 3 hours first! Followed by the initial blasting of a steam jenny
    thereafter! Secondly, applying a muriatic acid OR muriatic gel like coating but then to allow it to work for a period of
    time but then going ahead and lower it into the holding tank for the next 2-3 hours and just calmly let it set there.
    Thirdly, the block would be hoisted up out of that hot tank and thusly be blasted once again to rid the contaminants
    off of all surfaces. Fourthly compressed air would be used to blow out every little valley and crevasses to get out any
    remaining slight bit of anything that should remain, while that engine block was good and hot! Upon the quick drying
    of that block exterior and for the inside out, it should be coated with a special coating of light machining type of oil
    on all surfaces throughout to prevent the potential of rust flashing to occur!!! So there you have it! This series of said
    processes was done outside of a shop and while most likely having a shelter cover overhead which I would deem as
    the way that it would be done! Back in 1973, it had costed I believe was a 100 clams. The block had to be sent to them
    and also be picked back up when finished. By today's standards, the process might be modified, while the cost today
    might also be phenomenal, at best! I would believe that most engine machine shop's have this type of setup, by and far.
    Well now to be honest, of those said products lineup to start with, half if not more than half of them could have been
    eliminated right from the get-go and I must say; this impromptu endeavor is not only highly expensive, but an entirely
    wasteful way to burn money!!! After over nearly 3 years of the occasional viewing of YT videos based on several tests
    that other creators have already performed, there are some grand conclusions by far that indicate just how to really go
    about it while there may be perhaps a couple 3-4 methods still left in the mixed bag of trials and tribulations of ridding
    rust altogether!

      the rust to full on bare metal!! These are the two key things to be highly focused upon! Once you do it
      right the first time, things will be much in your favor and you will be able to epoxy paint coat that surface
