Rust removal
Well I've been working hard at rust removal. I built a poor mans blast cabinet and it works really well. It would be better if I had a higher performance compressor and blasting gun.
Anyway its been doing a good job until I got to the running boards. Man are they rusted. I wire wheeled them, blasted them, wire wheeled them again then once more through the blaster and I still had heavily pitted areas full of rust. So I got out my Phos. acid and started brushing it on. Don't have a plastic container it will fit in or else i would have just let it soak. The Acid is the only thing that is touching it.
As you can see in the photo I still have a little more soaking to do but it is working and it is a lot less labor intensive.
Slow but sure I'm getting there!
