More Rust Removal Secrets
We're back. Wray has been providing little snippets of the things going on in the shop. Now that we have some time, we are making videos again. I had pulled out a fender that had some serious rust and Wray in his infinite wisdom decided to make a comparison video using Muriatic Acid, Naval Jelly and Phosphoric acid and see which works the fastest.

Muriatic acid called hydrochloric acid will attack the base metal if left long enough. It is recommended to wear solid rubber gloves and eye protection. Diluting the acid may involve using gas resperator as it fumes chlorine gas .I'm an Industrial chemist.

[@a1930ford]

I had a jug of muriatic acid that I had just opened to do a project with inside of my garage. It was a beautiful 1930 Model A two door sedan with great paint and really no body work necessary. I got called away for an emergency that took me out of town for a couple of days. I had pushed the jug beneath a bench to keep it away from any child or such knocking it over, but I totally forgot to check the cap to the jug. When I returned home a few days later, the smell inside the garage was awful and virtually anything not painted on that car was rusted completely. Things on the dash, the underbelly and anywhere at all you could imagine. Boy, did I ever cry when that happened. It was one expensive mistake, so if you use muriatic acid, be sure to seal it tightly as it will get into the atmosphere as you said, and you will not believe the damage it can do to everything on the car, but inside the garage where anything of metal will be attacked, as well. Our water heater was out in the garage, and it too took a hit on metal parts due to my ignorance at that time. Be overly cautious in using it is just not enough of a warning once you flub up as I did with the stuff. ;-(

[@mechantics]

I'm sorry to hear about your horribly costly lesson. I first realized the potential for atmospheric encroachment when I rescued a Craftsman locking metal paint/solvent locker. The area where there were 3 gallons of muriatic acid has been fully stripped of it's paint

You are absolutely correct about media blasters and the damage they can do. You are spot on with the "cover the area with plastic for extending the acting properties of the chemicals for stripping, as you are with safety (running water, gloves, etc.). Perhaps you are my lost younger brother...we think alike in many ways, although I am retired. It is fun and rewarding to watch your videos and your sincere intent on passing artist-craftsman values to others.

[@PhillipHall01]

@ R J RJ what about the ones that use water added. ‘Wet Blasting’ to keep everything Cool? Do they work good?

[@RJ-nh9hw]

@@PhillipHall01 Wet blasting uses media, also--one needs to add a chemical to prohibit flash rusting of the surfaces. Plus, with water the media and residue resulting from blasting flows where? Yep, that river of left over stuff, especially on the inside areas flows to places where it will gather, dry out and form a cake like reality: How do you get rid of that waste? As to warping, the key here is what is called "dwell time" which means how long the blasting stream remains over an area, the longer it stays in one spot the more heat it will create...warping will occur. Next up: Dry Ice blasting...

[@tomkatinokla1]

@@RJ-nh9hw NEVER sandblast sheet metal, good gravy people! Chemical dipping is an excellent way, but the item has to be totally disassembled. First they remove the paint, then dip in a second vat for rust removal. Plastic Media Blasting is another excellent choice; low pressure blasting of various types of plastic chips. No warping or abrading of the metal. If a spot of heavy rust remains you simply treat that area with other means.

I'm down here in steamy Hotlanta, changing into my air-conditioned scuba gear so I can walk/swim out to check the mailbox. 😂 It's so hot and humid here, everything wants to either rot or rust away. Last night I dropped a pencil on the back porch. I figured I'd retrieve it in the morning once it's light outside. But this morning all I could find is a handful of compost with a pencil lead sticking out of it. We don't need doors on cars and buildings here, just need 'ports' to pour ourselves into.

[@user-xg2zb2ml4p]

Muriatic Acid comes in different strengths. I like the 31.45% HASA from the local Pool Supplier. Must to do out doors and stay up-wind. A simple cheap paint brush is all you need. No need for abrasives or rubbing at all. Just brush it on, keep it wet and in 5 mins the rust will disappear before your eyes. Brand new metal to be had. Speaking of eyes, goggles a must! Couldn't imagine getting that in the eye. You MUST neutralize the acid. Prep a sprayer with Baking Soda and water and spray the acid. Muriatic acid reacts with baking soda to form table salt (NaCl), carbon dioxide gas (CO2), and water (H2O). It appears as a foam. After neutralizing hose it all off and dry quickly to prevent flash rusting, It's fast and easy. I just did an entire front-clip. Great results.

Hi Wray, John from Oz here. Molasses dips work great too. They just take a fortnight or so. Very environmental in that you can tip the tank on the lawn when finished with it!

[@ferrariguy8278]

@A. Melbs When I've thought about this I've priced molasses from feed shops / country store type places. Anything farm related. I've not tried it yet, but you might want to consider adding some EDTA (additional rust chealtor) to the mix and some anti-fungal anti-bacterial agents. From what I've seen the stuff gets to stinking generating a biological surface fairly quickly. But it does work.

[@ferrariguy8278]

@A. Melbs I think the cheap stuff. Tractor supply has "feed grade" molasses for about $10 per gallon. I'm guessing it's similar elsewhere for animal grade stuff. Rre additives to cut down on *growth*... you might need to experiment - starting small. I'm just guessing. I assume whatever you use shouldn't' change PH much though.

[@samueljohnclark]

@@ferrariguy8278 actually I get my molasses from a feed shop (apparently they mix it with horse feed). Use por 15’s metal prep after. Gives a nice brassy looking finish.

[@bkrefting5225]

To neutralize acid, you've got to use a base. Baking soda is a base, but Amonium Hydroxide is much better (fancy name for Ammonia and water). Rinse, dry, and coat with a water displacer (WD-40 or equivalent). Also, muriatic is cheaper if you skip the paint department, and go to the swimming pool care section of the hardware store. Muriatic also cleans concrete, but be careful.

[@creepyloner1979]

if you use vinegar you don't need to neutralize it, because it evaporates. just blow dry it away.

[@JayMalone26]

I was thinking about doing the Rust 911 process for the undercarriage but using an inflatable pool instead. Drive the car on top, inflate the pool and now its all self contained.

[@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL]

Muriatic acid is really dangerous to the skin, lungs, and any exposed metal, but it's also really fast and really cheap.The baking soda immediately after muriatic acid exposure is a must, because flash rust will happen very quickly, otherwise.

You don't have to neutralize phosphoric acid. It only reacts with the rust, not the bare metal. Coating with a diluted mixture is even a preservation method. Look up Ospho, original/namebrand with a bit more extensive how-to.

Acids will continue to react if not neutralized . Strong bases are the same eg: bleach. Always neutealize acids once the desired results have been achieved. Washing with diluted white vinigar is how professional cleaners neutealize the bleach they use

Also permatex do a very similar product to the navel jelly called rust dissolver and it works great . Tried this cause importing navel jelly isn’t that cost effective. Anyway if there is some way I can buy a box of rust 11 and get it sent here I’m in. Another note with molasses is you need put phosphoric acid 10.1 mix over the metal ASAP when dried as it flash fairly quickly , molasses isn’t that quick either takes time to work 6 weeks to do my front end Question does the rust 911 solution evaporate quickly when you were using open to the atmosphere, molasses needs a lot attention, when the reaction starts in the sprinkler setup it seems to use a lot of solution but not when you use it in a drum and as a soaking solution .

@@62willy1 It was cheap paint... One coat..then used a razor blade...then repeated same with a 2d coat. Worked for me... Then when it's down to bare metal...I used Eastwoods Fast Etch ...the Fast Etch requires ventilation and gloves...read their instructions. Keeps metal from flash rusting.

@@williamb2854 of the products mentioned what do you think would work best for rust removal on underside of car (floorboards, under roof , panels etc) need something that I can apply & will adhere from beneath & stay put from being upside down.. ? thx

I knew Wray Schelin from United Chevrolet 1979 - He'd compliment a woman by saying she looked "devastating". His yard full of misc treasure. (I remember blue wooden racks from a rack body truck) He'd say ''I'll give you a dollar - to make it legal". Good guy - Nice memories !

The phosphoric acid is the best since it won't eat in to the metal, and muriatic is hydrochloric acid (HCL) and chlorine is corrosive. Better option is to brush on phosphoric acid, cover with plastic, and wipe after about 15 minutes. The other advantage of phosphoric acid, is that creates a rust resistant barrier that protects the metal and also preps the metal for paint. Phosphoric acid is a wonder compound in my opinion. I use it all the time, even as a degreaser on metal and for paint prep on non rusted metal surfaces.

How to use phosphoric acid for quick rust remover Does it dilute in water Can we use it for aluminum engine parts Or only metal parts I will be very thankful to you for this

[@nmtopbusiness3095]

@@guytech7310 Thanks alot

[@30arminda]

@@nmtopbusiness3095 did he reply to you cuz I have these same questions. And do you also have to neutralize phosphoric acid as well?

[@johnbean2596]

@30arminda I can answer all of these. -No, it does not dilute with water. Water is an acid neutralizer, we use 99% isopropyl alcohol to dilute it if we need to - but there is no reason to. It's not strong enough to eat anything like muriatic. - Does it work on aluminum? No it does not, it only works on ferrous metals. For aluminum we use a similar chemical etch/ passivisation process called "Alodining" or the more commonly known electrochemical process "Anodizing". -You do absolutely need to neutralize the acid with water afterwards. Paint will not adhere worth a dime until it's well cleaned with water, afterwhich the acid will have left a protective top coating. IT NEEDS TO BE WASHED. DO NOT FEAR THE WATER.

[@guytech7310]

@@johnbean2596 You can use Phosphoric acid for aluminum as a paint prep. Raw alum. does not adhere to paint very well. Usually Alum is prepped using Phosphoric acid for paint. For steel after prepping and washing with water, you can clean off with acetone as it does not leave a residue. Tap\Well water may contain contaminates. Tap water is often treated with chlorine compounds that can cause corrosion and blister the paint. Well water may have dissolved minerals or metals (ie Iron oxide) that also causes issues for paint.

Vinegar much cheaper and water and baking soda to naturalized the acid in the vinegar some reduce the vinegar but I like it full strength.

[@vigilantobserver8389]

Excellent demonstration! I remember ruining parts I left in Navel Jelly. So it gets rinsed off soon. Do you actually have to wait that long between applications of 9-11?

[@TriggaTreDay]

I have Muriatic acid. That’s great to know that it works great for rust. I just need to make sure to stray my item down with a baking soda solution and then wash it all alway maybe with soap and water…? It would’ve been great for you to spend some more time on that part. But I’ll look into it further thanks!

Thank uou sir, looking forward on my 37 Dodge Coupe floor, foot rest panel etc.

Awesome!

[@ricos4700]

What would put on it to stop the rust from coming back, without painting it right away? Thanks for the great information 👍

[@borna430]

I have a Beetle that I am removing the paint from it. I used Citristrip to remove the paint, once paint is removed I used Ospho which is phosporic acid and it prevent a bare metal to rust if left unpainted for a good few months.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Off to try some Rust911 on my Project 1962 C10 truck! Thanks!

[@chrislangdell117]

Cool. That rust 911 is impressive. Spraying this car would cost a little more then a sand blaster but in the long run much cheaper this way. Very cool idea

[@HouseholdDog]

Wow your apprentices did some nice work.

[@borna430]

Great Video. So I am a little confused. If I apply Ospho on metal and let it dry, will that causes metal to rush or prevent it from rusting for a while? I have heard once you take the paint off and get to the bare metal, you can apply Ospho and it will prevent if from rusting for a while. Also, does the fume from Ospho causes everything to tart rusting in the garage or that is not the nature of Phosphoric acid?

Love watching your videos. Originally from Worcester, I now reside in NV. Trying to restore a 63 Corvair convertible, do you have any instructions for making beltline trim?

[@williambarry8015]

Saw a unrestored 4dr one of those at the supermarket the other day. Good looking cars.

[@d6c10k4]

Have you ever tried citric acid? Granules mixed with water...soak submerged. Works great.
