If one were to immerse a chrome piece in evaporust to remove rust from the inside of the part, will the Evaporust (or similar product) stain or damage tge chrome?
I used a phosphoric acid solution and determined it safe on chrome.@jetmechmarty wrote a thread about this. Maybe search for that?
Pretty sure he determined it was safe on chrome.
K thx. I’ll try a test piece.I used a phosphoric acid solution and determined it safe on chrome.
Metal Rescue is claimed to be safe on chrome. As far as Evaporust, I got nuthin
I've been immersing all kinds of chrome parts from a 1970 Honda CB350 that Im restoring and it works amazingly well...agitate with soft brush then rinse in fresh water, itll be good to go.If one were to immerse a chrome piece in evaporust to remove rust from the inside of the part, will the Evaporust (or similar product) stain or damage tge chrome?

thanks , forgot completly that write up you did ...must be getting old and senile glad of the reminder as been working on a 98 sporty that had sat in a shed in the rainforrest unused for over 8 yrs so the chrome isnt the bestHere is the link to my thread. Phosphoric acid for rust on chrome parts
These formerly rusty fenders are still doing fine. As I recall, I added two cups of the acid solution to a five-gallon bucket of water.
Yes OHRider suggested putting an aquarium heater in the bucket to speed things up. That’s another thing to put on my shopping list.It is good stuff. Temperature makes a big difference in how fast it works. Also make sure the parts are clean and grease free.
So you just used straight Evaporust? I have a fuel tank with what appears to be minor rust. Do you think Evaporust is all I need?I also dunked an XS bucket in the same container. Not nearly as rusted as the Suzuki but here’s what it (XS) looks like after 14 hours of immersion. No elbow grease required! Quite impressed with this stuff. The SuzukI bucket needed more time but should be out tonight.

I do. That or Metal Rescue. Acid will etch all of it. I believe that's not the case with Evaporust.So you just used straight Evaporust? I have a fuel tank with what appears to be minor rust. Do you think Evaporust is all I need?
Yes that’s all I used. The tank on the bike has a very minor spots of light surface rust. I’m going to give it the Evaporust treatment this winter.So you just used straight Evaporust? I have a fuel tank with what appears to be minor rust. Do you think Evaporust is all I need?
