I was wondering if there is a specific way to gert rid of rust like maybe a soak or will I have to sand it off?  My lovely children took several of my tools and left them outside for a year and finally decided to let me know (I think they got sick of me asking where they were.

Thanks P.P.

Wire brush, either hand or in a drill or the quickest option: on a bench or angle grinder. Wear eye protection.

Chemicals will get rust blooms off quite good but not really year old stuff. Wear eye protection with the chemicals as well.

WOS...how so with the pepsi? Do you just pour it on?

I have two cattle panels that would save me close to $40.00 off P2's pig pen if I could get them rust free and repainted...Well maybe it want save me $40.00, but it will be two less that we have to buy.
