Vinegar rust remover

Just thought I'd share this with you on here and wondered if anyone else had tried soaking their old rusty base plates axles etc

I found one of my heaviest corroded base plate and decided to give this a go
I got a small plastic tub with a lid on and filled it up just enough to cover the base plate and left it to soak in the vinegar for a week but looked at it every day and is rust free

I did not use any thing other than an old toothbrush to remove loose rust

And now all is needed is to clean with water and then dry it and will be ready to paint

I did hear that Coca-Cola supposed to be good as well I will have to give that a go

Thanks for that excellent tip ALI-G, that certainly deserves to be a sticky!

I left the base plate in the vinegar one night longer than what in the picture the end results are they came Very pitted but no rust and solid and clean and no correction

I have only just managed to up load these new pictures hope this explains what I'm on about a lot better
