Is that your wife's crockpot you're using? She's away this weekend, I assume.

Yeah, the OLD crockpot. Actually pressure cooker. The timer crapped out and I had to figure out something to do with it. Works good to phosphate bolts too.

I had a guy bring me a bare '70 Chevelle 12 bolt housing that he wanted built for his car. It had been sitting outside for many years with nothing inside it and it was very rusty inside. I capped both ends and plugged the pinion hole and vent. I leveled the housing and filled it with about 3 gallons of evaporust and left it for about a week. It looked like new metal inside when I drained it. There were some pits from the rust, but you can't do anything about that.

I used the Evaporust to get my 1970's Z28's frozen horns to working again. Set the horns up in a vice, filled to capacity and let sit for 2 days. I also soaked the horn relay for 1 day.
Rinsed everything out with water and dried with heat gun. Horns are working!

I really like that idea of using it on the horns! Thanks!

This Muncie main shaft was not completely submerged, and the Evaporust cut into it at the surface. You can see where I took it out a few times to look at it and put it back in in a different position.
