I remember way back when I was a member of the ‘other board’, I think it was Todd C. that swore by that stuff....

 

[FredC]

no...its awesome

it will also eat to the bones in your fingers and fook some glass up

 

[Ed Valentine]

Good Stuff!

I like to encourage customers to fling their bottle of (whatever) at the next jogger they pass.

You should, too.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

It works.

It also creates all the collateral damage that Mr C mentioned above.

When customers worry about the "dangerous chemicals" you use, you can rightly point out that there are more frightening products that she can buy at the grocery/hardware store than cleaners routinely use.

This is such a product.

It is what I been using for years. It works on all the rust spot I get.

Iron out liquid works good on a lot but that stuff gets it all. Works on concrete too.

 

[steve_64]

That's not why you're an idiot!!!

 

[Cleanworks]

Wish they still had the erusticator bottle.

 

[Nomad74]

Nope. I carry it and use it all the time. Works very very well.

 

[Nomad74]

You need the big bottles.

Use it very carefully, and ALWAYS rinse the area that you applied it to very well!

I use it myself, but I would be hesitant to let employees use it unless they were absolutely aware that it will etch glass AND WILL EAT YOUR SKIN WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE PAIN.
So DON'T ever GET ANY ON YOUR SKIN!!!

Butler has a rust remover that is much safer for techs and customers. We use it for the safety factor but it is not as potent as Wink and much costlier.

 

[Rick J]

Fab Pro used to have one as well I liked. Maybe they still do. It was a gel.

And , when I got MSDS from butler for a few things , They were Fabpro provided! Hmmmm


I still have eristicator on the shelf in back. 3 or 4. I got into them not long ago cause I wanted some amonia, which is the neutralizer. It was no longer any good.

 

[Dolly Llama]

kicks azz
that IS your daddy's rust remover
it ain't kid stuff

careful with it around patio sliders ...it WILL etch glass as Jim mentioned
ask me how eye-no

don't forget to rinse well

Hydrofluoric Acid was banned in Australia a couple of decades ago.

If you get it on your skin, you may not feel it until it attacks your bones, as it chases the calcium.

Then it's amputation time.

Carrying such a risky chemical is an accident waiting to happen.

 

[hogjowl]

I agree with Steve

Where did you find it?

 

[Big papa]

Oh yea it works, and if you have a cut, or it can enter your body, you will loose skin...Been there done that...LOL....I had some on a rag, stuck in back pocket, and had a red silver dollar mark on my ass....This was 1983...and I still remember the burn...LOL

Amazon

Yes you are an idiot. I got some on my fingers once. Lost both fingernails and had my fingers opened to the bone to drain and inject calcium to neutralize. There's much safer alternatives like ultrachem clean. Take a look back and read my post and see my pics with clean blasting rust. It doesn't work every time but it beats the crap out of risking your health and your customers health.
Yea indèed that's an idiot chemical.

I tried the ultrachem clean a couple of times and it seems to work fine on some and not so good on others. Not sure why. I'll keep trying as I go along. I keep a 16 ounce bottle in my spotting kit. Works on many other spots and stains as well. I use t-rust on more serious rust stains.

umm, Willy, we're s'posed to be a professionals
That means we're s'posed to be knowledgeable and responsible with the chems used and take precautions with such

if you poured it on the rust, and worked it in with your fingers..
or spilled some on your fingers without immediately washing it off..
I'm sorry part'ner , the directions for use and cautions are clearly printed on the label.
it's not the chem's fault for not being IDIOT proof .

Mix any bleach and ammonia much??

Amazon

Walmart sells it also.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I use whink all the time.

Just use good sense.

 

[bob vawter]

Sno-Bowl.........!

laugh ....jus try it!

 

[Mark Saiger]

Have it used it? Yes...

Do I now... No

Been focusing on safer chemistry when possible in past few years.
