I brought a casting (Stuart D10) by Ebay and the most looks very good, but the bols and nuts where full of rust. Any good tipps how I simply can fix this? :( |

Hello Saw, There are a number of ways, one of the easiest being just drop it into some white vinegar and let is sit for a few days - will get rid of the rust and not harm the metal. The other very effective non-destructive route is electrolysis (a Google search for rust + electrolysis will give you about 400K responses, many with detailed instructions. Best, Mike |

Small parts are easily cleaned in naval jelly. Available at any decent hardware store. Glop it on, let it sit for a while, then wash it off with hot water. Dry parts thoroughly. |

Many thanks Kenneth, sometimes the technical terms kan be very hard to understand or translate, but I do understand now. Now I will only hope that I manage to remove the rust on those small bults.. :bang: |
