Tool Cleaning
HI, FOLKS,
I'M IN THE NEW HOUSE (THE "INTERIM" NEW HOUSE) AND TRYING TO GET ALL MY TOOLS TOGETHER AND CLEANED UP.
ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRE AT MY PREVIOUS HOME I HAD SPENT NEARLY $3000.00 ON ALL NEW HAND TOOLS AND SOME SPECIAL TOOLS - MOSTLY CRAFTSMEN.
THE FIRE TOOK OUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE EXCEPT THE GARAGE. SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRE I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND CLEANED AND DRYED OFF ALL OF THE TOOLS AND SET THEM IN SOME SEMBLENCE OF ORDER. GOOD SO FAR. IN FEBRUARY THE PROTECTIVE TARPS OVER THE ROOF OF THE GARAGE (THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE GARAGE WAS BADLY BURNED) BLEW OFF IN A STORM AND EVERYTHING INSIDE WAS SOAKED AGAIN.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOW MOST OF THE TOOLS ARE STAINED AND HAVE A LIGHT COATING OF RUST.
ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TTO HOW I MIGHT CLEAN THE RUST - WITHOUT DOING MORE DAMAGE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK WITH THE "BRAIN TRUST" HERE BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE PROJECT.
THANKS, AND Y'ALL HAVE AREALLY GREAT DAY,
BLACKJACK
