Title: rust removal- jennings chief
Post by: puckhead on July 19, 2016, 12:17:53 PM

i picked up a dime jennings chief to restore.  it was in a damp basement, and has light corrosion/pitting all over.  its a silver finish, very little painted areas. i'm guessing chrome or nickel plate?  im thinking of dipping it in metal rescue or phosphoric acid. i did my mills handle assembly in the phosphoric acid and it came out like new.  i dont want to try it on the jennings pieces and all the finish come off, so i thought i'd ask here first.

thanks
mike

Electrolytic rust removal using washing soda, works great on corroded pot metal and rusty steel.
