Tpt life Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 This was my test. This plane sat in a shallow dish of white vinegar for about ten hours. I wiped it off with a rag. It is plainly obvious how much of the casting was under the surface. I should add, the castings seem to rust more slowly and on the surface. The iron did not clean nearly so well and will need further treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpt life Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have some additional imagery for you. I am not sure I would vinegar soak for longer than 24 hours except when necessary. At about 30 hours this off gassing and convection can be seen. Please forgive the video, I was not thinking of sharing this when I shot it. The metal surface rusted very quickly in the humidity after the long soak. I would oil the metal very quickly after the soak. Some scrubbing was still necessary but was so much easier to deal with post soak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
