Athame57:
I've been using Hammerite rust remover gel a few years now. I'm wondering if more can be expected from this sort of stuff but it makes expensive territory to experiment on.  Has anyone something out there that they are sure is better, without going into the sort of things you need a space suit or something to use?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
For small items I use Evaporust I leave them to soak in a suitable plastic type container- item needs degreasing first. If it's deep rust I take it out after 12 hours - light brass wire brush the item then back into soak.

Not corrosive to the skin just wash off under the tap then I dip it in thinners or spray with WD40 to stop flash rusting.

For larger items I use the usual Gel type products.

Spitfire:
I heard about Evaporust on here (Ted) and tried it out, and it worked a treat most impressive.

Cheers

My son bought this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363998603855 looks comparable to Evaporust product in cost, I had no input in regard to selection.

I've no comparison to the other product here to give valid view in that respect, but seems to work fine for the items he's put through it so far. Mainly tools, many with heavy rusting, successful on all and doesn't appear to flash rust after rinsing.

Seems particularly inert to handle, no real smell signature, water rinse after leaving to soak. The used fluid he left in container and all dissolved particulate etc sunk to the bottom to allow the liquid to be decanted off for re-use.

Difficult to give the comparison asked for, but perfectly viable product from usage so far.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That is more than half the price of Evaporust so looks pretty good value if it works in a similar way.

Only review on sellers site said 'Useless' but then there are a lot of baseless negative reviews out there.
