pcs Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Guys, If you can use bi-carb to blast clean,how would sodium chloride go. (common salt) When dry it is quite sharp and is crystaline . pcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 PCS, it is also quite corrosive and will get into places you will never reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Is sugar corrosive LOL? Haha, no, but it is stick when wet and costs too much!!! Neat idea though. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Is sugar corrosive LOL? Actually I think it is corrosive. There was a thread recently where someone used a vat of molasses to derust an engine block. Plus with sugar all over your yard could lead to cockroaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcs Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Further to the mollassas bit. If you have any rusty steel parts, then you can make up a bath of water and mollassas. 2lb of mollassas to a couple of gallons of water should do ok. Place the part in the bath (and cover)and every couple of days check out progress and give the bath a stir. It will smell a bit, but after 5-7 days the part will be like new. Once finished flush with fresh water and spray with CRC or other anti rust agent, or paint etc.Works well. pcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
