Evapo-Rust

[Bert Knupp]

Volks,

Does anybody have experience to share about a product called “Evapo-Rust”?  They claim it fizzes away even thick rust, leaving unoxidized metal untouched.

There’s a how-to article on a Porsche group on how to refurbish old Bosch horns. It’s a good step-by-step for the riveted horns, and it includes dropping the pieces into a bucket of Evapo-Rust.

If it seems too good to be true …

It must be a new product.  Or something else.  Any help, y’all?

BTW, they video is a little tedious...but there are plenty of others.

Also, he says he paid $25...walmart advertises it at $19.05.

Might find it at some auto parts stores or my new favorite...Tractor
Supply for less.

Cheers, dave

Howdy, Dave,

I watched the YouTube video through and, with the four options they compared, it looks like Evapo-Rust came out the winner. I wish they'd added POR-15's product, "Metal-Ready," to the mix. I like the stuff, but it's really pricey: About $15 for a pint bottle. Great for small parts -- screws, nuts, nails -- but too costy for big articles.

I see that Evapo-Rust is available at prices between about $9 and $25 for the same gallon jug. Walmart is on the high end at $19.05. I'll check around with local industrial suppliers here, too. There's no Tractor Supply near me (okay, one on the other side of town, about 15 miles away) but I might give them a shot: they're only a block or two away from the place I buy my POR-15 products.

Síocháin,

Bert Knupp
