Rust Remover - kap - 08-22-2006 Does vinegar really work in removing rust? Found that solution from google. I need to remove rust from a iron steel wood burning stove and interior pans of a gas stove. I'd prefer not to use toxic chemicalx. Any suggestions? TiA Re: Rust Remover - Donkey Hotay - 08-22-2006 Not vinegar (acetic acid solution), but phosphoric acid : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acid Note especially the sections "Rust Removal" and "Processed Food Use" Acetic acid/vinegar/ethanoic acid is useful for descaling/deliming : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid Formic acid/methanoic acid is also of interest; ants produce and use it as a defensive weapon : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid Re: Rust Remover - rz - 08-22-2006 oxalic acid. easily found at any decent hardware store. Re: Rust Remover - Donkey Hotay - 08-22-2006 Oxalic acid : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalic_acid use with caution.

Read good things about guys using it on parts as big as machine tools. Re: Rust Remover - spacescape - 08-22-2006 How about using a Can of Coke...
