Molasses, Evapo-Rust, Muriatic Acid, White Vinegar, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, and water (control) compared for rust removal. All of the products were tested over 3 weeks. 5 separate tests were conducted to assess performance, including 2 separate tests on rusty metal, metal flakes (corrosion test), painted metal, and aluminum. Before and after weights of metals helped to determine rust removal and corrosion risks. Muriatic acid is fast but aggressive rusting happens after using it. Evaporust works extremely well and doesn't seem to harm metal. Molasses is slower than Evaporust but seems just as good if used for 3 weeks. Both white vinegar and apple cider vinegar did very well but seem to eat away good metal too. A lot of viewers requested this video--so, thank you and please keep the recommendations coming!

Growing up in a farm community, we used to take a large plastic garbage can, fill it with water and 5 gallons of molasses. Which you got from the 10,000 gallon tank at the feed store, bring your on container, for about $3. We would just throw anything that needed rust removed in the can and fish it out a month later. When the molasses had finished its usefulness, it would get turned into the garden soil. 100% recycled. Cannot say one way or another if this was a good idea or a bad one, but you got to love the ingenuity and the practically.

This video brought back an old forgotten memory about what an old sage friend of mine had told me about many years ago. He was an expert in rebuilding and restorations of cars. Museum quality. To him though, they quit making "real cars" back in the 30's. He had told me about a guy who many years before had sealed up a service station pit and had filled it up with molasses. They would lower a whole car down into it and let it soak for a month or two. It striped the rust off of the entire car. Inside and out. Even places where blasting media couldn't reach such as inside of a box beam. He had mentioned that it only ate the rust and didn't harm any still perfectly good steel. I guess he was right. Thanks again for a great video. Keep up the good work.

You should try these tests with an agitator. Like something that shakes these glasses a little.. Still, Informative like usual. Although I simply won't use molasses for rust removal. 😂

Agitation will change the results here, but a test with agitation and ultrasonic cleaners would be enlightening. Most people won't have the time to agitate for 3 weeks.

Thank you very much! I need to do this one soon.

@terryschabert7929 5 лет назад

@@ProjectFarm According to the Air Force, a properly crimped terminal will have less resistance than solder, and will stand up to at least as much pull as a solder joint. In fact, a pull test is required on each batch of wire/crimper-adjustment/terminal to the point of failure, with the wire breaking b4 a pull out of the crimp.

@bobkinney2430 5 лет назад

Rule of thumb.....it depends on the quality of connection you need. Crimping is quicker, and can be used in most situations. Some connections are more sensitive (certain audio, video, and controller connections) and should be soldered. This is from over 40 years experience in electronic repair.

@robplotts9412 5 лет назад

Much respect to the military but a correctly soldered connection will make a more efficient connection. However crimping allows the mechanical connection to the sheathing which will allow for a better pull out resistance. Soldered connection is best by far along with some silicone and shrink tubing . When I'm goin to do a soldered connection I will secure the wires together by zip toeing the sheathing to sturdy locations.

@terryschabert7929 5 лет назад

Are your connections critical to operation? Is the resistance a factor? Is the signal a tiny current? Is vibration a concern? Is the connection subject to Hot/Cold/ moisture/cycling? In those situations, a PROPERLY made crimp is the way to go. Think about it. Solder, of any current blends, is still a higher resistance and is softer than the wire. Solder deteriorates over time, under the conditions given above. A crimp, properly made (tooling, adjustment, with a ratcheting, non-reversing ability, will crush the wires such that the total circular area is completely enclosed with no gaps. It becomes the equivalent of a solid wire, and any surface corrosion that exists on the wire becomes a small percentage of the total resistance presented to the connector. I agree that sometimes a solder connection is the only way to go. Some cheap PCB's have holes to solder wires to; some military connectors use solder to pins or sockets. But try to find a soldered connection in a high power (multi KVA's) connector. I guess a proper TEST might be a good idea here. I state all of this to show that a good test is not just solder something up and make it fail. This subject is fraught with controversy among engineers, so Project Farm may be a little out of his league on this one. No offense. It depends on what you want to test FOR.

@johnnyjimj 3 года назад

Since watching your videos I've been using Muriatic acid, it has proven the best to completely remove rust. It's really corrosive and the fumes are extremely harsh and you need to refinish the surface right away, but there's simply nothing like it, and the steel is so well etched the primer and paint really sticks to it. It's fantastic for rehabilitating mechanical components and at $15 a gallon is very effective for the money, but you MUST work outside or in another well ventilated area AND cover the acid lest it rusts steel surfaces nearby! A work-around is to dip the steel in phosphoric acid ("naval jelly") or citric acid afterwards.

@Rick Simpson Yes coca cola with sugar dissolves rust in the same way as molasses where the main stock is about 60% sugar. A 60% sugar solution in water works equally well. Add some dish soap to the solution if it is to be used to loosen rust in threads. Unfortunately, sugar does not dissolve carbon so a solution of sugar will not loosen piston rings held in carbon.

@lesliehowells 10 месяцев назад

I read this on a car restoration forum, and thought you all might find it interesting: "What is happening with this is the mixture of Molasses and water ferments creating ethanol. As is known, ethanol creates havoc with anything of a ferrous nature if not highly diluted, i.e.; gas tanks, fuel lines, etc. So, it is logical that it will remove rust from parts over time. Doubtful if any paint would be removed from the mixture, but it should do a bang up job with surface rust on just about anything given sufficient time. Molasses also generally have a very high sulfur content which can also become acidic in nature under certain circumstances."

@dirtybird4976 4 года назад

Definitely surprised by the molasses, I never heard of that little trick, but now I know for the next rusty job. Evaporust honestly really is good, I've used it multiple times but seeing the comparison and little experiments showed it. Most stuff your going to be removing rust from is probably something that you aren't worried about losing paint or coating anyway so

But I was late for work so I just put the cap on and left. Two days later, when I went to use the saw, the slider arms were completely rusted. It totally freaked me out because that saw has been sitting in the back of my truck for 3 years without any rust whatsoever. The aluminum base was also chewed up from the acid. ⚠️Moral of the story: Immediately clean muriatic acid off of anything you don't want destroyed.☣
