  • VINEGAR Cleans Heavily Rusted Metal FAST.
    This is the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to remove rust or clean off rust. It is nothing but inexpensive white vinegar that you can buy anywhere. This only took a few hours to clean off all the rust. If you have to clean off extremely heavy rust it may take a couple days of soaking the rusty part in a 50% solution of white vinegar and water. It always works to safely remove all the rust, if you let the vinegar work long enough and give it enough time.

    just did this with 10 WWII Thompson magazines. They were just block of rust, non functioning. 48 hours in vinegar bath, the rust wiped off. disassembled them, cleaned them out, buffed them, and blued them. they worked perfectly. all 10 ran 30 rounds each, no hang ups. Vinegar works better than Naval Jelly or any other product.

      It dissolves the rust because of PH differnce, so could use lye or baking soda and just mix that with some water. If you want to use vinegar, there's a way to create a powder of it.

    Good demo. Just a side note, it's a good idea to rinse in a base like baking soda and water after using vinegar to counteract the effects of the acid.

    • @guitarwhores753
      @guitarwhores753 Před 8 lety +23

      Ritchard posterior like I said, to counteract the effects of the vinegar. It will continue to eat into the metal unless a base is applied. When done rinsing with baking soda and water, then oil it to prevent rusting.

    • @Gaark
      @Gaark Před 8 lety +4

      +Guitar Whores I agree. I'm actually wondering if the vinegar is eating the iron under the rust, causing it to come loose. The vinegar still looks clear, and when he rubs the rust it doesn't look like it is dissolving at all. I think we need some chemistry help from +Nile Red for this :)

    • @syyenergy7

      +Jeff Parks NO. You could leave the vinegar there for years. No problem.

    • @applerokka
      @applerokka Před 6 lety +20

      bro.....
      Vinegar is acetic acid.
      Also, this is inorganic chemistry, not organic chemistry.
      Also, metals dissolve in low pH conditions, not just their oxides. Basic metal finishing processes require that metal finishing processes such as plating occur in low pH conditions so as to better dissolve the desired metal to be plated. The part needs to be brought back into a high pH condition after the finishing process so that the metal doesn't remain coated in a low-pH solution, which will continue to dissolve metals until saturated.
      Bro.
      The only reason leaving it for years has worked for the OP is that the solution first eventually reaches an equilibrium, and then the solution eventually gets washed away or removed by other means. It technically is best to expose metals to a higher pH solution after applying a low pH wash, even though the amount of metal that the vinegar would remove would be pretty minimal as just a spray wash.

  • @williammanning3174
    @williammanning3174 Před 8 lety +27

    Vinegar is acidic. Full strength won't hurt anything. CLR or The Works bathroom fixture cleaner works good too. I once brought a very rusted ratchet back to life with The Works. There are 3 steps. 1st soak your steel in acid to dissolve the rust, 2nd spray the metal with baking soda water to neutralize the acid and finally, spray the metal with WD-40 to displace any moisture so it doesn't rust again. You could even use acid from a dead car battery. Just don't forget to neutralize the acid after the rust is gone.

      Van Alstyne just mix baking soda and water together in a plastic spray bottle. spray it on and let it fizz. Repeat until it doesn't fizz anymore. Don't forget to displace remaining miosture with WD-40.

    • @CB-ep8mf

    • @manuelluis2287
      @manuelluis2287 Před 5 lety +1

      c b wd.40 is to stay there for ever 'till the day you decide to paint the rusted part; otherwise it will come back again and much harcher than never. With wd.40 acid and water just fly away and cause no more rust . Use it immidiatelly after cleaning with water , vinegar , acid , brush ,,, mandatory.

    • @heidis8713
      @heidis8713 Před 5 lety +1

      @@CB-ep8mf I generously spray WD-40 on, let it sit a few minutes, then use a paper towel to rub it in, while simultaneously soaking up any excess. (You can't really have "too much" WD-40, it's just my preference.) If you have just a small spot of rust, WD-40 is also good by itself.

    I just did a big metal sign completely rusted on the back after 12 years outside, and coming through on the picture side on the front. I made a shallow bath using plastic on the long patio table. It worked great but I did it twice as the rust was very thick, the first time I left it overnight. It went back to metal and also stripped all the paint off the picture side which was what I wanted. It started to rust again once the vinegar was washed off so with the metal still wet I sprinkled a liberal coating of BICARB SODA all over, first one side then the other and it completely arrested the rust, I left it till dry then brushed it off. Amazing, best job I've ever seen.

      It worked pretty well. There are definitely more steps than just laying the part in the vinegar. You also have to wash the parts after the fact, and put them in a solution of Baking Soda and Water for around 10 minutes, then dry them off and use WD-40 or an oil that prevents rust and rub it all over the part.

    - today i cleaned the old table saw my dad had built in the 70ies.
    i took *vinegar essence* which is much stronger than vinegar - and yes it took away all the rust in a few minutes.
    i had it set for about 10 to 20 mins and then sanded by hand while wet - found that the 240 is still a bit too heavy but takes off the worst parts. the 400 paper is good for finishing
    after wiping away all the dirt i sanded again with some W40
    used some 00 steel wool too to get deeper into the slot parts
    will do this on all other machines in the shop - works great !

    This has to be the most helpful of all the vinegar bath videos I've seen. I have a bunch of rusty metal washers that I want to clean up and recycle. Because I am recycling, I'm trying to not spend any money unless I have too, plus I just don't want to buy new washers when I have a jar full of so many sizes at my disposal. Vinegar is chemical free and something that works wonders on so many different things, so I'm really excited to try this.

Dilute acetic acid is the chemical name for vinegar, and its chemical formula is CH3COOH. And it is mildly acidic which means it can be dangerous.

    I really thought this was total BS, but I purchased a used 12-foot trailer and it was in pretty good shape except the fenders and rail were rusty in spots. I thought, "what the heck I'll give this a try and see what happens." I brush on 5% apple cider vinegar and kept it wet for about a half hour. Sure enough, the rust came off easily, nice and clean metal fenders appeared. Now I had to figure out a way to apply the vinegar to the rails and other fenders, I thought I might try using old towels and soaking them in vinegar and wrapping them around the infected areas. We'll see what happens.

    I've been an automotive technician for decades and have tried EVERY special chemical for rust removal, and they're all either crap or so caustic you don't want to have anything to do with them. Just up until recently I thought I had tried everything.... So I saw all this on here and had to clean a goldwing tank but as anyone knows they're horrible horrible horrible to remove so I decided what the heck. Let's try the vinegar.... I was lazy, and left the tank in the bike... Just used straight vinegar and no water and no salt. Left it for 24 hours... Drained it then sprayed pressurized scalding hot water and bizam! Clean as a whistle!!! neutralized it. Dried it. Fogged it with yamalube to keep it from flash rusting and is perfect and maybe took me an hour and a half to do.

    Not a big surprise since vinegar knocks the bluing off a gun rather quickly which all bluing on a gun consists of is converted rust.

    Masked of a small part of my car door that had rust, it's a pretty rust free car in general but the car door and trunk lid had some rust, worked nicely but it took some damned time because i had to regularly go outside to spray, what i found worked best is to just take a piece of cotton and soak it and then tape it or hold it on just lean a plank onto the soaked cotton ball or cloth or whathaveyou and it stays there keeping it wet.

    @ParadoxPerspective Před 8 lety +9

    The problem with any acid on a metal is flash rusting once it dries!
    Gotta put something on the part right away; if you're going to paint you have to paint. If you're going to use the part by itself you've got to clean it off with borax dissolved in water, then put some WD40 on it or something to keep the moisture in the air from the metal.

      Borax dissolved in normal water? What is the problem exactly? Is it the leftovers of the vinegar (just like the leftovers of normal water in electronics cause corrosion?) I am just curious, not correcting, me myself i don't know anything really, but wouldn't using 99,9% Isopropanol-Alkohol be effective to for that purpose? Maybe just to expensive... Or is it also about adding an additional layer of coat (for protection)? Is that what normal oil or WD40 are doing?
      I also don't really understand what "keep the moisture in the air from the metal" means,,quite a lot of questions but i'd be nice if you could answer just one :D

    • @stevewhitsett7744
      @stevewhitsett7744 Před 8 lety

      +MrReasonablethinker he doesn't have a 50% acid solution. he has a 50% vinegar solution. Which is indeed very dilute.. 100 % ( or even 50% ) acetic acid would in fact be so strong that it would etch the metal as well as taking away the rust.

      MrReasonablethinker
      Not only was it not a stupid question, it was such a smart one that it was over your head. The original dude thinks you have to add water to activate the acid or it won't work, the way you have to add 100% sulfuric acid to water to make it into an actual acid. They sell pure H2SO4 which is 100% sulfuric acid. It's a syrupy liquid. It doesn't do anything unless you add it to water. But the genius here thinks pure vinegar is the same way, he doesn't know that vinegar is already 95% water and thinks that adding more water to it activates it. Dumbass.

      sandra gaudio It really isn't. Adverse effects doesn't come into play unless you eat grams of it, and it doesn't start getting dangerous unless you eat tablespoons of powdered iron/iron oxides. Iron oxides are pretty unreactive at room temperature, and the particles are way too large to make their way into the bloodstream via the skin.
      Long term skin contact can lead to dry skin or even a rash, but it isn't very toxic at all.
      There are seriously toxic iron compounds though, but none of those are a part of rust.
