    Quoted from Whysnow:

    legs submerged in the stuff for a day. Evaporust works like a charm.

    Left my SBM legs for like a month or two while painting the cab, old paint peeled right off and zero rust was visable.
    I soaked my lockbar too, maybe a week, cleaned it off, cleared it - done!
    I'll have add pic later, already long moved it off the phone.

    Put a regular cap on one end and screw cap on the other... 4 legs fit just right

    Takes about 3 gallons to fill.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    I never heard that it took a month for Evaporust to work...no wonder I thought it didn't do shit. A month?

    I just " set it and forget it" I was repainting the cab so i didn't need em.
    It could have only needed a couple of days, I just failed to check the progress.
    I know on parts like my lockdown bar I only let it soak a couple days tops.

    Quoted from wayout440:

    You are into 3 gallons of Evaporust rust for about.70 bucks not including PVC. Ends up more expensive than buying a new set of legs

    True, but since the stuff doesn't go bad. It can be used by all my pin friends!

    Hell I soak tools, all sorts of things.
