Re: Vinegar for rust removal
Ive left steel bolts in for up to two weeks with no issues. I do rinse with a baking soda & water mix....just a 1/4 box or so in a 5gal bucket. I've had great success with the vinegar. The 25% CLR mix is something new I've been doing and it seems to help cut the soak time down some. After a few days soaking, I take a wire brush to them, resoak for a few hours or another day, do my baking soda and water rinse and air dry. It will give the metal a nice prepped surface for self etching primer (which I use on all bare metal). Posts some pics of before and after too if you don't mind.
