In praise of Evaporust

[mklotz]

Evapo-Rust (Bad Experience) - Page 4. Out of interest here is another side to the story, which came to light after I consulted this computer. I have never used Evaporust and am still on the eternal mission to find a magic potion that banishes light rust and protects against further attack.
Can one wipe this Evaporust onto, say, a cast iron table saw top and expect it to remove the beginnings of rust?

As with any chemical preparation, give it a try on scrap or a concealed area before committing.

I believe it's intended to be used via full immersion of the part rather than being applied to the surface via cloth/sponge/etc.. For your saw table I would use a flat steel block and some 1000 or so grit emery paper. Once the rust is gone, wax the table with a good grade of floor or automobile paste wax. That will protect from future rusting and allow workpieces to glide smoothly across the table.
