Evapo-Rust cleaning the chassis
#1

Hi all! I started a new post so I wouldnt hi-jack a post by cwirth, and reply by Bob Anderson on page 3. I would sure like some advice about the Evapo-rust. I tried some on a chassis that has been "moused", with some carefully planned and 'tailed' rust, left by rodent number 1, just for me. Ok, you get the drift. I followed the directions to dampen a good paper towel and cover it with plastic, and push it down onto the metal and wait 24hrs. I did that, and things looked kind of ugly. I wiped and polished some, but didnt improve much. Aside from stripping the electronics off the chassis and soaking, what has the experiance of others been with this treatment? I have also heard about navel jelly, but no experiance with that either.

I may have done something wrong, perhaps its the kind of metal - not sure. This is a simple amp pulled from a console stereo years ago, probably a mid 60's model. I'd sure not like to ruin my Fisher 500C (a nice mouse family tried that already) by doing this wrong. Any experiance or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Tim
   
   
If these pictures came off right, you can see the result of my 1st try. I used the blue Scott paper shop rags.
