Evaporust tips & tricks

[KevinW]

So anyone figure out a way to thicken it for vertical surfaces, i.e. Navel Jelly consistency?

Evaporust recently came out with a gel version for this application.

That looks very similar to Bilt-Hamber Deox Gel, which has been around for a few years, although pricey down here. Works well if you cover it with cling wrap to slow the drying.
Hopefully the Evaporust gel will be available down here soon.

I draped a thick towel over ,my old tractor fenders which has some slight to moderate surface rust and soaked the towel with Evaporust. 2 days and it took off all the rust. The downside of doing it this way is you waste the material but it works.

If you soak a towel or fiber cloth, you can put a layer of plastic over it to stop it from drying up as fast. Helps prolong evaporation. The same thing applies to putting E-R into a trough to layout longer parts. Again, cover it with plastic.
