Yeah, I'm guessing they meant two tablespoons... But it is nothing more than an abrasive in this solution, or is being used for it's charged properties when the positive sodium and negative chloride ions separate. It could help expel the rust from the metal.
4 hours is impressively fast compared to vinegar even though I'm not likely to be in a hurry if it's rusted that bad to start with. From Quebec, Canada
Use an angle grinder with a flap disk, start with a 60 and work up. Work outside if possible and don't forget eye protection, gloves and a mask because it's gonna be dusty.
@@noproblemguitar7395Oxidation causes rust. Cast iron with rust on it will react the same way. Although, soaking the cast iron in simple white cleaning vinegar, even 5%, will work just as well.
this probably isn't a good combo. gentle soaking is likely to have a better ratio of rust removed vs removing underlying iron. vinegar is popular. citric acid is good because it specifically chelates metal ions. hydrochloric acid is better than people realize ... it removes rust very fast compared to the speed if dissolves unrusted iron [you do need to frequently check however so you don't soak longer than necessary]. but you need to be careful about anything involving chloride irons ... they cause ongoing corrosion if they're not cleaned off carefully. so i'm dubious about rust treatment involving salt. the fanciest, gentlest, pricier option is non-acid products like evaporust and the claim of being a permanent rust solution is *very wrong.* once you have clean bare metal, the clock is ticking. you need to treat the surface - primer, oil, lacquer, whatever - because you don't want a thin film of rust under your paint. in the case of cast iron cookware, you season asap. heat pan, wipe on thin layer of vegetable oil, heat some more until oil appears dry, repeat a bunch of times. heat hotter than you'd ever use to cook. imo "drying" oils are better ... walnut, linseed (no additives(!) like you find in "boiled" linseed)
Kool-Aide in the little packets are basically citric acid with a lemon scent, and they're pretty cheap. And it will work in strong solutions all by itself. I'm not sure what the H2O2 has to do with it. It reacts with organic things, but rust is an iron oxide...

Alka seltzer is 50 50 citric acid and bicarb of soda - but it's much more expensive than mixing citric acid powder and bicarb of soda (baking soda, - Arm and Hammer), from the grocery store. If you can't find citric acid for baking you can use vitamen c tablets, aka ascorbic acid, from pharmacuticals, but it's more expensive from there of course.
Very interesting. For many of the projects that I do it would take about twenty times that amount to clean up rusted metal. It is still interesting for small jobs.
Yes what you are making here is called a sodium hydroxide and can be purchased in small or large quantities it is caustic and used in many industrial uses
I will try it, I know there are other ways to remove rust and corrosion, but always interested in trying other options so I have them in case I run into something unexpected. Thank you.
What does it do (if anything) to chrome plating? Can reaction be sped up *_significantly_* by placing the jar on a "keep coffee cup warm" warming plate? (I think these typically keep a typical mug/cup at about 125degF)
This mixture releases chlorine gas. Do it outside or use ventilation. I wouldn’t use it to clean bolts. Vinegar by itself will do that. I have used it for applying a black rust coat to my hand forged knives. The process is different and I used vinegar instead of the acetic acid.
Because we all have a bag of citric acid laying around this is like the other guy with the rust he dident mention you have to soak it for 3 days and wait a day then soak it another whole day
"salt, 2 teaspoons"😅... That was much closer to 4 TABLESPOONS.
Right

try citric acid and sodium bicarbonate ( baking soda) It makes sodium citrate - a chelating agent that works better than evaporust.

Good job man. Dale from Northern Saskatchewan Canada
1:51 it says mix salt and hydrogen peroxide it didn't say anything about citric acid in the title
Yeah...its an acid! Also note its not the over the standard diluted stuff.
Citric Aid on its own works fine. but if might be easier and possibly cheaper to buy another socket.
Ospho and a wire brush on a grinder works good
