swift4me Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 OFF is the problem word here. Rust is IN the metal. You can get the external rust off with light treatment of good penetrating oils, superfine steel or bronze wool, and in the US we used old pennies as they were pure copper and wouldn't scratch the blueing. If you use a penetrating oil, be sure to completely rinse it out of the pores with a flush of solvent to keep it from continuing to penetrate. After that, you need to continually watch the spots and apply good coating oils when needed. Short of a complete re-blue, I don't know of anything better. There are some good anti-rust treatments and I'm sure if you were to use the SEARCH function, you'd find lots of good info. Good luck, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
