I had a set of legs come in on a pin that were completely orange - no joke, I thought they were unsalvageable.

I left them in an evaporust tube for about 2 weeks (other stuff got in the way; not sure if it needed the full 2 weeks) and.. sparkling shiny. I had not polished them or scrubbed st all except I wiped them down with a bit of aluminum foil to clean the goop off. No pitting really either!

I did still have to use PB Blaster to unfreeze the levellers (and replaced those). Still - The cult is real! Lol

It doesn’t seem to work very well on the levelers, at least in my experience - anybody know why?

I had a pair of legs that the levelers were rusted on so tight and I did not remove them before dipping them in Evaporust.. never got ‘em off so those legs are just sitting. The legs looks great but levelers look chewed up like hell. I tried PB Blaster and everything.

I agree - my problem was a frozen set of levelers which even for a genuine month in evaporust, were not movable. I wasn’t trying to save the levelers, but indeed the legs which are useless if you can’t adjust due to frozen levelers. Interesting all the abuse they get!

Damn! I did not try that. Thanks!

Has anyone used these on the old Williams legs that were gold/brass coloured? I just got an IJ and would prefer to spend the rehab budget fixing the cab. Will the legs clean up or will evaporust kill the gold color too? I guess this goes for the wire forms as well

LOL. Well I'm going to try it - we'll see what I end up with! I can always put one in the back if it gets jacked up
