I thought we could try to aggregate solutions. Sawsall Torch Blasting Chemicals Vibratory You get the idea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 1st question: Apple Cider Vinegar ? Cheap readily available, effective? What % (strength) is necessary? Pitfalls? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

ACV - works well for me. Cheap and non toxic. Doesn’t bother my wife if a bucket sits in the garage. You can use full strength or dilute with water. I just drop the parts in a bucket and let sit for a couple days or longer if needed. Wash with water and then paint, powder coat, ect. The bare metal will rust very quickly so spray with wd-40 if you are going to let sit. It worked great for cleaning out my motorcycle tanks and getting parts ready for plating.

Acid is used as a pretreatment for plating. It opens up pours and cleans well. Just don’t leave in too long.

The phosphoric acid leaves a bit of iron phosphate on the metal, so there is a slight delay in rusting after treatment. |

Apple cider vinegar is also good to treat muscle cramps. A teaspoon in a glass of water. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

ACV kills warts too. Put a little under a bandaid and it turns black within day.

Eric at PMB Performance told me he uses Ketchup to clean fuse blocks. It has vinegar in it. I took the block and put it in white vinegar and soaked it a little and then brushed it with a medium brush washed it off and blow-dried with an air gun.
Used a contact spray for relays. I use a tiger grit wheel for some stuff with 220 grit in the bristles for bolts and such. Bob B  |

Yep. White vinager. A couple hours and then scrub clean with an old tooth brush, soap and water
