About CRC Evapo-Rust, Heavy-Duty Rust Remover
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
79% liked its compatibility with various metals, but 21% found it incompatible with their specific metal
After soaking the old parts overnight, they looked like new without any additional polishing.
I recommend using STA-BIL corrosion inhibitor as the best partner for preventing rust for a long time.
Evapo-Rust affected the looks of my brand new tool.
It is not as effective as Naval Jelly and does not work well with metal surfaces.
68% liked its quick drying time, but 32% found it took too long
I wrapped the item in soaked paper towels and plastic wrap as per the instructions to prevent it from drying out and let it soak overnight.
83% found it easy to apply, while 17% had difficulty with the process
After soaking the parts overnight, they looked like new without any additional polishing.
I have noticed that the product requires full immersion and as a result, a lot of it is used up.
Rephrased: The product uses up a lot due to its requirement of full immersion.
82% praised the excellent protective coating, while 18% found it wore off quickly
I find the product to be very slow, taking 24 hours or more for any meaningful results.
Soaking old tools for days at summer temperatures is ineffective in removing rust except for thin barely rusted areas.
The rust inhibitor didn't work for me. I let it sit for a few days with no change.
72% liked its deep surface penetration, but 28% found it struggled with rough surfaces
I compared the working of this product with Naval Jelly and found it slow in loosening and removing rust.
I found that the product only removes surface rust and not from pitted areas.
This product is designed for soaking parts, not for brushing onto a larger surface.
To use the product, flatten the towels to remove air bubbles and cover them with plastic sheeting to prevent drying.
69% praised the excellent surface finish, while 31% noticed a sticky residue
I had to wet sand the metal to remove the rust, which caused the surface to instantly flash-rust again.
