Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
When you're doing maintenance, there are all kinds of tiny parts, right?
What would you do if it were completely rusted?
I think you'll need to remove the rust first before repainting.
You attach a wire cup to the sander to sand things, right?
However, the rust remover we're introducing today only requires soaking!
That said, you can find products like that just about anywhere, lol.
Well, for those who haven't used it before, this might be helpful.

This is before rust removal.
For rust like this, I left it soaking for a full day.
This rust remover can be diluted, making it very economical.
Since the rust was so bad, I tried diluting it to twice the strength. (This connector is just for testing, though.)

This is what it looked like a day later.
The middle section is supposed to be threaded, but it has corroded and deteriorated.
It looks like most of the rust has been removed.

I found a rusty gauge protector, so I went ahead and installed it while I was at it.

This blind cap was terribly rusty, but now it looks brand new!!

The rust that was present almost everywhere is now gone, though there is still a small amount remaining where the bolts go.
At first glance, it's almost completely gone.
It looks nice.
After removing the rust remover, rinse it thoroughly with water.
Naturally, since all the oil has been removed, oxidation proceeds due to the water used for washing, as well as moisture and oxygen in the air.
Therefore, it is necessary to dry it as quickly as possible and apply a rust-preventive coating to seal it off from the air as soon as possible.
I didn't have time to paint it, so I'll save that for next time, but this diaphragm-type gauge protector is expensive, so,
I want to cherish this!
And here is the rust remover I used this time.

Actually, we've had this product sitting around for over half a year, and this is the first time I've used it lol
"Didn't have time to use it?" lol So this was my first time using it.
It's a very user-friendly product, and since it can be diluted and reused,
It seems you can remove rust with the same solvent as many times as you like (until it evaporates and is gone).
It appears that a small amount of gas (odor) is being emitted during the chemical reaction.
It smells like an alkaline solution.
Since these types of chemical products are mostly for commercial use, they come in large quantities.
We do a fair amount of rust removal at home, so I have a feeling this will come in handy going forward.
See you later.
