Every person more than once in his life has encountered such a nuisance as metal corrosion, or, more simply put, rust. There are many ways to combat this scourge, but not all of them are quite effective. After trying several of the methods and not achieving the desired result, I found my own way to combat rust. At least I haven't seen anything like this in my search.
Will need
- Baking soda.
- Toothpaste.
- Dish detergent.
- Paste GOI.
- Alcohol.
- Cotton wool or soft cloth.
- Sander with felt disc.
Removing rust from metal
So, first, let’s prepare the surface to be cleaned, namely, simply wipe it with alcohol. Now prepare the mixture. Pour a large spoonful of baking soda into a bowl and squeeze a teaspoon of toothpaste out of the tube. Now pour in the dishwashing detergent and stir, bringing the mixture to the consistency of liquid sour cream.
Next, apply this mixture with a cotton swab to the surface to be cleaned of rust.
Leave for one hour.
During this time, the surfactants contained in the detergent will corrode the rust, and the mixture will turn into a thin crust covering the surface to be cleaned.After the specified time has passed, rub (with effort!) this crust over the affected areas with a soft cloth or cotton wool.
We rub it until the entire mixture along with the rust remains on the rag.
So, we removed the rust, but a small problem remained: dark spots remained in the places where the rust was removed. To remove them, take a sander, attach a felt disc to it, with goya paste previously applied to it, and carefully sand the surface. During this procedure, not only dark stains left by rust are removed, but also micro-scratches left by soda. The surface becomes a mirror blue!
In addition: the goyi paste remaining on the surface after grinding protects this surface for some time from moisture and, as a result, rust.
And to avoid rust in the future, simply wipe the surface with gun oil at least once a month. Or sewing machine oil, these oils are almost identical.
