    Short video on a pair of badly rusted wire stripers turned back into new!

    I would have never dreamed it was that possible, using Vinegar?

    i hang around with some pretty savvy old farmers and none of them have ever mentioned this to me.

    another example of the cheapest method being the best, hence no publicity around it…

    i’ve used CRL, trannie fluid and a bunch of penetrating oils over the years and have had moderate success, but nothing like that.

    Ya Stu, I’ve used fuel oils and the like to keep cast iron pipe cutters free and lubed, just never had a clue about this.

    I keep a 50/50 mix with water in a pump spray to help with a lot of things. We use it to clean out our coffee pot once or more a year too.

    Also works great to clean the tile in your shower. Spray on a 50/50 water and vinegar mixture let it sit for a bit and then rinse.

    Don’t forget cleaning the water spots off your boat. Spray on and wipe with a microfiber cloth, boat is nice and shiny.

    on coffee pots, i’ve gone to a 100% vinegar which is a 5% mix of acetic acid and water.

    thanks for posting, Denny. I’m getting about an 80% surprise reaction from my buddies… Except for the one guy who always knows everything, of course…

    Yep, Boat for sure.. 100% vinegar in a spray bottle and your boat will look brand new! WOrks on splashguards too but it has to be 100%. Diluting it at down to 50% is a waste of time.
