I'm doing a spot of light machine restoring and the rust is pretty thick. I'm using citric acid, which works pretty well with patience and scrubbing.
Part of the frame consists of steel tubes, with end plates making them closed sections aside from a bore through. I filled with citrate solution and was rewarded with abundant sludge and rust.
Is there something I can now put inside them to stop rust re-forming? I still need to get an axle through. For example, I could pour in some rust converter and shake it around? Any better ideas?
Thank you!
