Navy jelly, throw it away. All those rust removers you have used before that burn your skin or just don't work, toss 'em. I saw this being used on the TV car shows. They were using it on a car frame, wrapped up and covered. It worked. Buy a quart for 11 bucks and try it, that's what I did. I had a 75 year old rusted bayonet and scabbard that would need scraped, sanded and yelled at to clean up. Never would be worth nothing so I tried it. I can now smooth it with polish and blue it. Not a true collector but now sell-able for a profit. You can re-used this stuff until it is black. You can be cheap and wrap the item in paper towels and then pour a little of the stuff on. Make no mistake, soaking is best. Find the smallest Tupperware container that fits, soak a few hours. You get the inside cleaned too. Try it, cheap, good and easy. My next test is to see if it will remove that black stuff from in-the-white metal, like 100 year old bayonet or a Japanese sword blade. Can't wait to see, no smoothing with polish, keep the blade ruff. Now that would be money in the bank...Read full review

Pretty worthless. I had better results cleaning my tank with "Works" toilet cleaner - dissolves rust 10x better than Evapo-Rust. Also used Muriatic acid on tanks in the past. Strong stuff, but Evapo-Rust is weak, weak, weak. Not worth the cost......

I'm restoring a 1940 Chevy Master Deluxe, and I wanted an alternative to media blasting. I found Evapo-rust and gave it a try. My first impression was that it was too expensive for what little it did, but then I realized that it worked well enough. I was expecting it to make the nuts and bolts in my test batch to look like new. They didn't. However, it did make them clean enough to reuse and or repaint. I'm going to try it on a much larger section of the frame next and hopefully achieve the same results. Overall, at this point, I think it's worth the investment.

I realize this stuff is to remove rust so I can't rate this product down too much. That said, I would not buy it to remove rust, but to remove parkerizing off some gun parts I wanted to plate. Like rust, parkerizing is a chemical reaction rather than a paint, also some people on the forums recommended this substance. It says "Environmentally safe" on the product, which it no doubt is. The executive summary is, YES it will remove parkerizing from gun parts. BUT the caveat is you will have to soak them for several days since this solution is weak compared to stronger stripping products. After realizing this I quit expecting the Evapo-rust to do all the work and just left the parts in the plastic container for a bit longer. The parkerizing will come off, but it's faster if you help it work (I take the parts out from soaking once a day, and a little more of the park will come off with a dremel + wire brush. Not being in any kind of a hurry helps in this process too. If you need the parkerizing off right now, I'd try something stronger like Birchwood casey bluing remover.Read full review

This takes rust off steel tools and parts very effectively. I've only used it on small items that can be submerged in the liquid, so I can't vouch for how well it would work on things that would be soaked with a rag or paper towel. Very economical.. when finished soaking, pour the remaining liquid back in the jug.

Used 1/3 bottle it worked well. It was a clear liquid on first use. 2nd use liquid was yello 2 days later and not as strong.

This product is exactly what I needed for restoring old hand tools. I left a bunch of old, rusty tools in a bucket of Evapo-Rust, left it overnight, and next morning removed my tools! They were rust free! I love this product and it is non-toxic, biodegradable to boot!

Take anything that is rusted and soak it in this stuff overnight and the rust is GONE! I take the left over liquid and pore it back in the jug through a coffee filter so it can be re-used.
