Oldcar, that's what I was after but haven't been able to find a source here in rural Georgia. I called many feed stores and none had a source.
Maybe the type you mention is a lot stronger than what I used and that's why I've never experienced any metal loss? Any local feed store that makes their own feed has it. Probably not an Agway or Tractor Supply type as they buy prepackaged feed. Animal feed molassas is from red beets, human is from sugar cane.
I'm guessing the product sold as Rust Beeter is animal feed, because of the name spelling. The parts HAVE to stay submerged too. It gases and will destroy the part out of the liquid. I know someone that tried to clean a MC gas tank while he went on vacation, sealed the tank with duct tape so it would not stink up his garage. He came home to an exploded gas tank and stickey all over the ceiling.
This is a job for outside! I called all over middle Georgia and the only thing I could find or order was the dried molasses. As for the metal loss that keeps coming up, I'm still using the original small gauge mechanic's wire I started with 2 years ago and it has not shown any metal loss at all, either in or out of the molasses.
Several of those cans have spent at least 1 year submerged and are still intact. You can't get much thinner than a coffee can. Well, it's only been a few days.
I did use grocery store bought molasses, as I didn't see any mention of anything specific. Us Suburban type don't know about that farm stuff! I'll give it a week and if I don't see any difference, I'll contact the local feed store and see what they have.
I need 50 lbs of bicarbonate of Soda anyway. Another job that some anerobic bacteria can do is produce alcohol from carbohydrate; though for drinking purposes yeasts are mostly used. Now we have had a maximum level since the early 's of 0. This has never bothered me personally because I never learned to like drinking it. It is , of course, a low grade toxin which we deal with in two ways.
We excrete it via the kidneys. Also we have the ability in our liver to turn it from alcohol to carbohydrate in the liver due to a very specialised alcohol de-hydroxylase biochemical reaction. That is, when the OH radiacal is removed, the rest is high energy food. This is why excessive ethanol consumption can lead to obesity.
Now the developement of this detoxication ability probably had a very long lead-time. I know someone who has chronic hepatitis C, who only needs to drink one small can of beer to become paralytic for several days.
Others produce B goup vitamins which are vital for health. Now my father unfortunately died in a road accident, and though he never drank alcohol and had been to see his bank manager, his autopsy showed 0.
There is carbohydratein the gut, effectively without axygen, and the temperature is ideal. I have a problem with laws which require zero blood alcohol, because you can get false positives: Also, any change of accuracy automatically changes the law without debate or decision by parliament. There was query about the amount of dehydrated molasses to use. Dry molasses is probably better for dry cattle feed.
An old Ford adjustable wrench that would barely turn before, now moves like butter, while a pair of rusted shut vise grips now operate freely. It was too cold to go outside and get the metal prep out of the garage, so I just coated everything with a bit of oil to prevent re-rusting. It's going outside now, which will surely slow the process at 10 degrees outside. Glad to hear it's working for you Brian. I've never found a rhyme or reason as to why some parts clean with no effort at all very quickly and others don't.
What I've learned to do is check things after a week and remove all that were done and everything else I give a quick scrub with a wire brush and return to the pail for another week.
Sometimes a item is pulled out that appears to still be solid rust but the powerwasher blows all the brown off to reveal raw clean metal.

You just rinse off with water after. Any thoughts good or bad? I found this on youtube and am trying it in a 5 gallon bucket on rusted bolts and washers.

Wow that is great, I never knew that, I'll have to try it out.
Thanks for the information. Posted December 4, NTX Posted December 5, Posted December 5, Posted December 7, HotRodTom Posted December 7, Another user of the molasses rust remover, here.
Works good. I have part of the water pump of my Gardner in there now.. Posted December 8, edited. Hi y'all I too have used this molasses bath technique but not for some time.
Posted December 8, Ivan Saxton Posted December 8, But I doubt there is a huge amount of sulfur in Molasses. Posted December 9, edited. For those still curious:. Ivan Saxton Posted December 9, Posted December 9, But the ingredients or contents of these household items seemed to make sense and presented an interesting opportunity to put them to the test alongside the dedicated rust removing solutions. Some of our findings might come as a surprise while others may not. Who would have thought that Coke would be an effective means of rust removal?
Considering that Coke has a low pH of roughly 3. After putting Coke to the test, the results showed mixed results. During the first four hours, the test sample showed surprising progress on the surface rust, but little to no progress on the deep pitting.
After 48 hours, the sample took some steps backwards as it began to show signs of corrosion. Did it work? Yes, to a degree. Coke should be enjoyed in a glass of ice as you observe true rust removing chemicals work on your rusted parts.
Light surface rust is not an issue for Coke, but it does take some time. It would be interesting to meet the person who thought that using molasses would be an effective means of rust removal. Chemically and in principle, molasses removes rust effectively through a process called chelation.
We used this drum for well over twenty years. The results are amazing. Your clips are great. Well done. It would seem difficult to get to the scrolls to hand sand it. As a woman I have no tools or sanders. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks much, Sharon. Hello I love to sew and bought an old sewing at a yard sale. I manage to fix the electrical cord and its running but the inside of the sewing machine has some rust and needs machine oil.
What do you recommend to clean some of the rust out and I know they sell machine oil. But how do I take some of the rust off the inside to clean it out? Happy cleaning!
