Evaporust

Picked up a 5 gallon pail today. Going to soak a '66 Chevelle lower hinge to get it clean for repair. I bought an aquarium heater to keep the solution at 82°. I only have the shop temp at 45° when I am not in there and didn't figure it was going to work very well at that temp. Now I am looking for a small, submersible recirculating pump to keep the solution circulating in the pail, and yes, I did put the lid back on. See, I paid attention, Steve...

Amazon has many submersible pumps for cat and dog water fountains.

I have not tried it yet, but was going to experiment with it in my heated sonic cleaner.

I used safest rust remover on an original 900 mile car 18 years ago.... Stunning results with a moveable shower bath on the under chassis.

I tried that just a few weeks ago and it worked really well. I have a cheap eBay ultrasonic, and its best purpose so far has been heated/accelerated evaporust cleaning.

Did you order the 5 gal. or does someone have them in stock?

I got it from my local O'Rielly store. It was in stock in a local warehouse and they had it in 3 hours. Decent price too, compared to buying 5 1 gallon bottles...was $100 w/tax.
I should probably get another and just leave it sealed for future use and avoid price increases...
