how-to: remove rust from parts

http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/ru..._derusting.htm

very easy to do, and quite effective... personally, i use a battery charger, a scrap piece of metal, and a bucket of water mixed with baking soda... works like a charm, and it leaves parts just about ready to paint... you can even use a soaked natural sponge and use this on body panels on your car... just be sure to disconnect the battery before you hook it up... i will snap some before, during, and after pictures soon, most likely after i can build a dedicated setup, though... still cheap to do... the only real cost to any of us would be the $1 spent on the additive to the water...

good luck
