"And always remember...

Do what you oughter... add acid to water".

(in 1957, my grade 12 chemistry teacher would say... "adding acid to water is AWright... but water to acid is WAr"...)


On rust removal: Acquired (garage sale, $5) a bunch of fairly rusty stainless steel dental instruments - forceps, scalers, tweezers, hemostats, scissors, scalpels etc. Great find, now used daily. A two-day soak in dilute acetic acid (household vinegar) allowed rust to be wiped away with one of those green plastic scouring pads.
