Sand
If you can’t take the bus to the beach… take the beach to the bus?
I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to get at some of this rust. The sandblasting experiment has been slow and messy, but effective in some places.
There’s just no way to hit all of the rust like this – way too big of a job – so it’s getting focused on just a few areas. Cleaning up is not my favorite. Neither is silicosis.
Don’t forget about electrolysis Jason! It’s uhmazing for more digestible sized pieces of metal. Works incredibly well. I used it on tons of little parts and even things like my hubcaps (see photo). Plus it’s a great, simple scientific process that I bet Bode would love to get in on also.
