Hello fellow rust removers. What ever happened to DrX. That formula worked so well and also was biodegradable, non-corrosive. Gloves were worn to keep away from the rust not the chemical. I have tried the Beyond Balistics formula. It works well for dipping things.

First I made a one liter with washing soda. Fomula 1.

Second, I followed the same recipe with lye or caustic soda. Formula two.

Third. I combined the above two formulas in two liters of water. Wow, that was much more effective. 30-45 minutes dipping  time for clean metal.

Getting back to DrX. A person could de-rust a project car just by spraying the project car with a pump  bottle. I tried doing this on rusty wheels but the power washer was not up to the task.

I will try again with a new power washer rated at 4300psi. I will also continue to see if there are advantages of combining the different recipes together.

I wish someone had an old bottle of DrX that I could take to a lab. LoL

Cool looking stove. What you have built is a wood stove with a heat exchanger. I  have thought about doing the same project: taking a stove like yours and making a BBR out of it. I was inspired by a series of videos on youtube where a gut did this. He cut a hole in the back of his stove and build his  riser out of b brick outside the stove. It worked well. I think that you could do the same and plug the exhaust port on the top and exit out the back.  Here are the links.
