#DIYMAN #rustremover - Навчання та стиль
Great review! I will be repairing some rocker panel rust this weekend and am very happy to see how well it works. Thanks
Thanks! I’m hoping to make lots more like this!
Great video! There are so many rust removers out there that don't do anything, it's good to find one that actually works!
Thank you! Yeah, I’ve used a lot of stuff that doesn’t work as advertised, but this stuff is great!
The Naval Jelly contains phosphoric acid and converts rust into iron phosphate, which is the black stuff you mentioned. :)
Some rust removers use tannic acid and the byproduct is iron tannate.
That is very interesting. I didn’t know thag
@@DIYMAN Any OTC rust removal product will contain an acid. All of the rest of the gunk they put in there is used for smell, look and viscosity. TBH, you would get better results just going to a hardware store and buying phosphoric acid. Make sure you use rubber gloves, eye protection and have a neutralizer nearby (baking soda). It's almost like prepping a car for paint, a good rust removal is all about the steps and labor you put into it.
That’s probably cheaper too. Thanks!
@@DIYMAN If you are doing a lot of rust removal, you will definitely save money as a gallon of phosphoric acid is around $12-16 depending on what brand and where you live. One thing that I have seen a video of but never seen or used in person, is rust removal by laser. That looks SWEET, its just crazy expensive for the machine. :/
@@morecowbell235 so if you applied it to red lava rock it would convert it to black? Not out of a practical use but just curious
I give it an A+ because it cleaned my parts and made the metal shine like new.
I used a peice of Scotchbrite to scrub my parts after allowing the jelly to do it's thing. Sometimes you have to do another coat and Scotchbrite again.
I sometimes use a brass "tooth brush" which is not as abrasive or steel tooth brush.
Either way I will sand and prep my parts for paint or polish them a wire wheel and squirt clear on them. Other times I polish some or my parts with buffer wheel so the look like chrome and then squirt some clear.
I like some kind of coating to keep my parts rusting making my work last longer.
A+
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
Used this in the 70s great stuff
I used this stuff to clean the chrome wire wheels on a '68 Jaguar XKE, by using a small one inch paint brush and just painting it on and around the spokes & hub then after 10 minutes hosed it off. It brought the wheels to like new condition and I received many comments and inquiries on how much I paid for new wheels. It really works.
That’s pretty cool. I didn’t know it would work on chrome. That could come in really handy
Leave them wondering...
To keep the metal from re-rusting use a good corrosion inhibitor if you don't want to paint it. Blaster Heavy Duty
Corrosion Stop Protectant is good. Shake the can then spray it on and wipe it clean. Use it on my old tube radio chassis
after taking the rust off with Naval Jelly. Cover up any painted surfaces when spraying it.
Cool! Thanks for the tip! I might have to try that
I have used paint inhibitor in the past and it worked similar in that it turned the rust into a dark color but I didn't have to do anything other than spray it.
For heavy rust, apply a kinda thick layer then cover with plastic wrap so it won't dry out, then leave it for a few hours or overnight. It also helps if you can knock any scale or loose rust off with a wire brush. If you use a wire wheel in an angle grinder to get most of the rust off, then 5 or 10 minutes is adequate. Otherwise this stuff takes a bit more time to work.
Awesome! That’s a great idea. Thank you!
@@DIYMAN does this remove rust or convert it? I some reason want to try it on red lava rock to test out if it converts it to the unoxidized form or just removes oxidized iron
@@livebungusreaction its acid,. it melts the rust. you have to paint it afterwards.
@@Runescape. true, you need to paint on it...because the product is not a paint
my vote for most hilarious commentary...of a rust removal video.
lol thanks!
So does Harpic Strong bleach at £1 a bottle
Thanks for the video.!
Best way to brush something onto a surface is with a brush, just like the instructions stated.
I did enjoy the finger painting, though.
No problem! Lol, yeah, a paintbrush would’ve been better but. O well
@@DIYMAN I like the video and I'm a big fan of Naval Jelly. It's my go to when I'm not using phosphoric acid from the lumber yard.
I've gotten excellent results from submerging rusted items (e.g. an old axe head, pitchfork, etc.) into a bucket of household vinegar! Works great and leaves a nice gray finish.
Great idea! Thank you!
For things that can be submerged nothing beats white vinegar. I have done it many times, on thins that were incredibly rusy. For things you can't submerge this stuff is the best I have found.
Apple Cider vinegar works best as a diy home solution.
Looks just like naval-jelly which works great
Wow finally a decent video with actual results.... I must do it on my car before painting the underbody :D
Thanks! Yeah, it’s great stuff!
Im think too try on my doors of my car, the lower parts of them its rustet and doble plated too , some steel of Japanese car its difficult too remove an stop rust of
The rust on the square tubing looks like the frame of a car I have and I wanted to see how it turned out before trying it. It did really well.
Does Klean Strip Concrete & Metal Prep leave behind some latex or acrylic coating? Is there a rust converter that only uses acid? Seems like some latex coating will negate the ability to use a primer. Ultimately, you're limited to the adhesion of that latex or acrylic.
I honestly don’t know
Wow, thanks for the video! About to use this to clean a planer (never used it, let alone heard of it before) and this video kept my attention. Informative, but with a side of humor. Usually these DIY videos put me to sleep with their monotone speech, this one is great! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much!
is this similar to their rust converter spray? I think the spray can be left on after application
I’m not sure. I haven’t seen that before
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
I have also used this and the stuff at autozone and it works great...
Rural king had some stuff that was in a spray bottle as a liquid and would leave a coating that you could paint over.. that was some awesome stuff for minor things.
Like the electric companies box and meter.
Something you shouldn't spray off with soap and water. 🤣
thanks for the video
No problem!
Naval Jelly, look up the old popular mechanics or mechanix illustrated magazines. There are so many products out there to de-solve or convert rust. My best is still the older school way, electrolytic method.
>>My best is still the older school way, electrolytic method.
black residual is probably iron phosphate, its formed when phosphoric acid ( or other acids) reacts with iron oxide, its ok to leave it their and paint on it, rust converter is often just phosphoric acid weak solution.
naval jelly is essentially phosphoric acid with a thickener to make it into a paste. I have used naval jelly in combination with 85% phosphoric acid (food grade is readily available). It is an excellent rust remover, and does not have the toxicity of oxalic which is also an excellent rust remover.
I did not know that. Thanks for the tip!
Oxalic acid only toxic if you eat too much in food. Also bleaches things, as commonly used for linens in the past.
@@timwhite4288 Oxalic acid is toxic and may cause burns, nausea, severe gastroenteritis and vomiting, shock and convulsions. It is especially toxic when ingested. As little as 5 to 15 grams (71 mg/kg) may be fatal to humans.
How well a person does depends on the amount of poison swallowed, how concentrated the poison is, and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a person gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery. Severe damage to the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, or airway may occur and quickly cause death if not treated. Holes (perforations) in the esophagus and stomach may cause serious infections in both the chest and abdominal cavities, which may result in death. Surgery may be needed to repair the perforations.
I have been using naval jelly since 1980 when I had an old rusty set of wheels for a rustier Firebird. Took two applications but all rust was gone so I could paint them. What can I say? At 16 in the 80's, you did whatever you could to get your old POC muscle car looking as good as you could on the cheap. Wish I would have used the naval jelly under the bondo. I bet the body would have lasted a little longer! My indrocution to DIYing. The wheels never rusted, the body fell apart.
Royal jelly has been my go to for - my whole life I suppose. It is somewhat acidic so if you are like me and tend to not wear gloves etc., I would make an exception on this one. I have had it splash into my eyes when in a hurry and that did not feel good so would recommend eye protection. No damage to eyes just rinsed them out with an eye washer in a hurry.
Nice! My first car was a 67 Barracuda. Love the classics. Thanks for the comment!
Now that I would know what to do with one, if I could find one, it would probably stay in the garage. A C2 or C3 vet would be nice, but I'm thinking something that I can do right, like an early model MR2.
Yes I use this on rusted steel parts from the 1950s, it works great, for deeply corroded pieces you will have to aplly multipl time...when I get the part rust free I re-blue it with gun blue....finish is quite good.
That’s awesome. I’ve been considering re-bluing one of my guns and was considering this as an option
yes
Have you tried hitting it with the wire brush on once you apply the dissolver?
Yes. It definitely helps. You definitely want to coat it with paint after you do that
@@DIYMAN Absolutley. I’d prob hit with a heat gun just to make sure there was zero moisture before respray
are u supposed to paint right on it>? or you clean off then paint?
You need to rinse it off with water, but you can paint right over the metal when it’s done
Hey it’s been 2 years how’s this stuff holding up ? Have you found any other products better to use than this one?
Seems to be doing ok. I haven’t had any issues
I will try pre-spray with vinegar
Cover with seran wrap.
Wait hour
then brush excess rust
Then apply rust remover (covered)
Really? I’ll have to try that
Mix caustic soda and wall papir adhecive and just a little water. You wil have same product whitout color. OUTSIDE use only ;)
Yeah, naval jelly’s always been some pretty rough stuff.
Oh no not the Bigfoot! I get the rusty tools. Removing the Patina from Bigfoot is a no no. People pay top dollar for that stuff. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
Zep® Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner - 128 oz. $11.98 at Menard's. Works in 30 minutes for most parts, over night for very heavy rust.
I’m going to try this! Thank you!
LMAO at 4:00 "probably just a warning for stupid people". That made my day. Great video by the way!
Thanks! Gotta have a little fun with it 😆
Naval gel has been around for a Very long time
Another way to remove rust is with a container of water and an electrolyte in the water... baking powder baked for 15 minutes turns into baking soda. Use that in water to Cary the current.
You can use 12 volt current, but since I have a lot of extra laptop power supplies I use 19v at about 3 amps.
You will need a piece of iron or steel. . No stainless steel.
Mix baking soda in water.
Attach the metal you don't want to the positive lead. Attach the metal you want to de rust to the negative terminal.
It's the reverse of electroplating.
The rust deposits onto the sacrificial metal..
I did have some larger clips that I attached to the wires to make it easier..
I used a 55 gallon drum and could do most of the bumper
When I was done all rust was off but it left major holes.. a friend welded it it up good as new
That sounds like a fun experiment
First you need to remove the rust flakes, with a steel brush, then the product is applied with a brush and it must be covered inside a container or plastic bag, to prevent it from evaporating, let it rest for 24 hours
I want to say that your videos are always funny, but that is not 100% true. This video was, as you said A- for rust removal, but your commentary had me cracking up and I would give you an A+!
Thank you Juliet! I always think it’s fun to add a little bit of humor throughout the video
Vinegar works great
Good to know! Thanks!
looks good', loctite', rustoleum reformer rattle can' spray, works good for 1st layer of primer paint work', peace
Thank you! Great tip!
Since those other products came out I can’t find it at the L or the H store
That’s weird. It may not be available in some areas
This product has been around for decades and was proven that long ago. Use an DOD pad to do final cleaning on metal things...like your tools, etc.
Naval belly was around 50 years ago .
Didn’t know that
Naval jelly been around since ww2. It works great
I knew and old man years ago that used that product to mix himself up a special type of colonic, he swore by it.
That’s super interesting. Do you know the recipe?
That stuff is great for constipation cleans yáll right out asap..
😂
Like pretty much 100% of these sorts of products this is only a temporary fix once rust starts you can't stop it , you might slow it down but you're not going to stop it.
Why don't they spray this under vehicles?
I need it in a 5 gallon jug to rust convert a metal building lol
Try some steel wool and you will get better results with this stuff..
Thanks for the tip!
@@DIYMAN Been using it for ages to restore rusted engines and put them back on the road...Works a treat...Especially in cylinders and on cams...
So this would probably be safe on a ratcheting wheel hub/clutch wheel hub/ clutch pawl wheel hub? I have had it soaking in blaster for almost a week and its still siezed the f up
Evapo Rust……gets into the nooks and cranny’s…..does the job…..
Was that the sound of a fully charged Onewheel?
Lol. I wish
I need to move rust from a tow hitch on my SUV. But the Loctite Rust Dissolver is so expensive, I could use the money to buy a new hitch. What is the point.
Lol. This stuff is like $10, and I bet it would only take 1/4 of the bottle
@@DIYMAN I checked the price at amazon, try the price for 4L. I think the best rust dissolver is muriatic acid which is about $22 for 4L.
Good grief! They’ve gone up a lot
Naval Jell is a reference to military use on ships, not belly buttons.
😂 I figured
My best process for removing rust is use a 40 gallon plastic trash barrel ( hold big parts, fill it 2/3 with water, then throw in a gallon of muratic acid (about 16 bucks for 2 gallons at home depot) for heavily rusted parts leave in over night, ( don't put aluminum parts in they will disappear, small steel or iron parts like screws can vanish too) remove and wash liberally with water to neutralize the acid, will turn the steel black, if parts are greasy clean with soap and water before soaking, 9 % vinegar works well too...don't put in chrome parts it will turn them black...done a lot of parts like this, for lightly rusted parts, leave in less time. It will remove paint too.
I did not know that. Thanks for the tip!
muriatic (hydrochloric) acid is used in swimming pools to balance the pH levels of the pool water, to kill mold, remove rust stains, get rid of calcium deposits, and clean the surfaces. You need to be careful with muriatic acid since skin contact is dangerous and mixing it with some materials can release free chlorine gas which is extremely toxic.
ya i just spray muratic acid on rusty frame(northen rust 20 years build up) and rust is gone within a hour. i don't add water to the mix tho. $8 for a gallon at Menard's. wash off with water tho
I have a wagon that is has rust all over. My roommate says to put a rust inhibitor on it and paint over it. Is he right? I say remove the rust and paint.
I’ve actually heard that’s fine. I have bought paint with rust inhibitors in them though, and the paint eventually just came back off. Maybe I bought the cheap stuff though
Problem is false advertisement with this product!
Yes it will remove some rust but it contains Phosphoric acid, which converts Fe03 (rust) leaving behind a residue of FePO4, technically not rust but still there as a scale.
In places that need to be cleaned such as inside an engine or other technical devise, It’s not a good idea, it can most certainly break away and float through the systems.
This still classifies as a converter in my opinion.
Good point. Thanks for the comment
👁 don’t think anyone was going to use it inside of there engine block?
By the way, phosphoric acid is one of the ingredients of Coca Cola, so you know it works to clean rust!!!
Ah, that makes sense!
I always eat off my chisels.
😆
dont use that stuff on chrome unless you are going to rinse and wire brush it thoroughly maybe 2-3 minutes or less or you get a dull, crappy looking chrome finish that never polishes nice and pretty again.
Thanks for the tip! I wasn’t sure what it would do to chrome. I’ve always had good luck with a really fine steel wool when I’m polishing chrome
Don't pick your nose, scratch your rear end or da man berries!!
😂
Kyselina fosforecna
I lost faith when he couldn't grasp the concept of taking a 1" paint brush and dipping in some jelly.
Sorry no thats suface rust your vid have company advertising all over it.I couldnt find any rusty tools oh really whatever ask a neighbour.
Theres better stuff on the market that is a liquid and you can spray it on and it dissolves rust and leaves a black coating
Want to share what those are?
Thank you for only providing a teaser and no actual information. Great job. 👏
@@beccami7683 I sure can I use beest rapid rust remover it's like 45 bucks at Amazon .I also use fdc rust converter it's a little more expensive it's about 65 for a gallon on Amazon both are a liquid you can use a spray bottle or pump sprayer to apply it so it's much easier then brushing on plus you can get into hard to reach places .
@@beccami7683Rust oleum- rust reformers spray.Converts rust into different inert form.Always sand or wire brush rust first for best results.Cheapest to buy phosphoric acid 40 percent and mix it with grain alcohol, put in a spray bottle.Most of these products use phosphoric acid, citric acid works well also.May take 2-3 application’s depending on rust thickness, prime and paint with rust inhibit spray paint.
Do you have the time? Yes….
Naval is ships and men on the sea, Navel is your bellybutton, jus to be clear, sheesh
😆
Naval Jelly is one of the oldest rust removers around. It's been available since the 1960's. This video has no new information.
I didn’t know that
