My iron relic I soaked in white vinegar.

I soaked these for 5 days and put furniture wax on them. I have that many more to do.

looks good, going to have to try it.

I have soaked for 2 weeks and all the rust was gone and they keep the dark color compared to electroylisis.

Rick

nice , some look hand forged

Curantly own a Mirage P.I made by sven , and a silver Umax with ground balance mode, and a Tesoro Tejon

If you get a grinder wheel and put a wire brush on it you will not hurt the relic but take off some of the rust. I put Vaseline on my iron. Melt it and paint it on

If you don’t dig it, then how are you going to know what you’re missing!
How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat!

Nice lookin Rick

Can't argue,,,they look good to me.

You really brought that elephant back to life it seems.

I may have to go to Wally World and buy me some vinegar.

Inspiring thread,,kudos.

After I soaked them. I washed them and then wire brushed them by hand. Then rinsed them again. Dry with a rag and put something on them.

Wear rubber gloves because the vinegar is black and is like a stain and hard to wash off your hands. And don't do this in the kitchen sink. I did last night but won't do it there again.

It makes them nice for a display.
