<DIV>I had a couple of bearings that were rusty in a wood lathe that I recently
bought. I thought I wonder if I can free these up just for grins. Well I
went on this machine and found that you could soak them in vinegar for a
hour or so. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I put a little white vinegar in a old yogurt cup toss in one of the
bearings and checked it a hour later. Well wouldn't you know the vinegar
was starting to work its magic. Then I thought if it works like that on
bearing, I wonder what it will do on some old rusty "F" clamps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I pulled out the clamps threw a couple of gallons of white vinegar
into a 5 gallon bucket and set several in . The top of the clamp of
the left is after it being in overnight, and cleanup with a piece of
steel wool and a rag.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then the good news is I can dispose of the vinegar on the weeds
in my driveway once I'm done killing off the rust.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Vinegar is pretty amazing stuff. And to think we actually use this
stuff on our food!!</DIV>
