Rust Remover
Usage Instructions
- Preparation:
- Clean the Parts: Before using Rust Remover, clean the parts thoroughly with Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Military Grade Solvent to remove any oils or contaminants. This ensures maximum effectiveness.
- Safety Precautions: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. Ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area, although the product is odorless.
- Application:
- Submerge Rusted Areas: Fully submerge the rusted areas of the metal parts in Rust Remover. Ensure all rusted areas are completely covered by the solution.
- Saturate Towel: For areas that cannot be submerged, saturate a towel and wrap parts to keep wet.
- Container Selection: Use a container made of plastic, glass, or a non-reactive material to avoid any reactions with the solution.
- Timing:
- Light Rust: For light rust, let the parts sit in the solution for approximately 10-20 minutes. Check periodically to monitor the progress.
- Heavy Rust: For heavily rusted parts, it may be necessary to leave them in the solution overnight. *Be sure to spot check anodized, nitride, cerakote or other aftermarket finishes prior to submerging.
- Inspection:
- Check Progress: Periodically check the parts to see if the rust has been fully dissolved. Use a soft brush if necessary to gently agitate and remove loosened rust.
- Re-submerge if Needed: If rust remains, re-submerge the parts and allow additional time.
- Rinsing:
- Rinse with Water: Once the rust is removed, take the parts out of the solution and rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Ensure all residues of Rust Remover are washed off.
- Dry Completely: Dry the parts thoroughly to prevent new rust from forming. Use compressed air or a clean, dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
- Post-Treatment:
- Protective Coating: Apply a protective coating of Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Battle Born™ High-Purity Oil, HP Pro or Battle Born™ Grease to the cleaned parts to prevent future rusting.
