The chain store (Food Lion) around here that used to sell Whink has discontinued it from their inventory.



I know the Manager and he can't even order anymore for us.

You should send me one of those pull spout caps.
My last bottle came with a plain old cap.
Kind a hard to use without glugging it on so it sits on the shelf.

I can attest. I've been able to get every rust stain out with steam way stuff.

 

[dealtimeman]

John remind me about this steam way product next time I order, I want to try it.

 

[dgardner]

I've always had good results with Bridgepoint's T-Rust. As with any fluoride-containing product, gloves (and care) are important.

Chris hit up an Ace Hardware. It will be in cleaning Aisle just past paint.

They have it here anyway.

 

[Doug Cox]

Novell Laundry rust remover, very much the same as Erusticator. Call Trident Co.- 262-784-3663.

For the love of God -STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HYDROFLOURIC ACID.

If it gets on your skin, it burns horribly. I got just a tiny bit on finger tips - the doctors ended up splitting my fingers open to the bone to inject calcium to neutralize it. Not only did they do that, they also had to remove both fingernails. There's a reason fingernail removal is a form of torture.I'm fortunate enough to have kept my fingers, others haven't.Even then I've lost any sensation in my fingertips.
I use Ultrachem Clean, it doesn't eat your body, but there are lots of alternatives than Whink. Use them.

Clean at work, no gloves, no worries

 

[Papa John]

the universe is trying to tell you something--- switch to a different type of rust remover!!! I used wink decades ago before I had any training and got the stuff on my fingers--- Burned like an SOB!!

Chris - Hydrofluoric acid is different from your ususal acids. HF's main danger is reaction with the calcium in your body. Think of it as a poison, not an acid. From Wikipedia:

Hydrogen fluoride gas is an acute poison that may immediately and permanently damage lungs and the corneas of the eyes. Aqueous hydrofluoric acid is a contact-poison with the potential for deep, initially painless burns and ensuing tissue death. By interfering with body calcium metabolism, the concentrated acid may also cause systemic toxicity and eventual cardiac arrest and fatality, after contact with as little as 160 cm[SUP]2[/SUP] (25 square inches) of skin.

I had to undergo special training back when I worked around semiconductor fabs because they use concentrated HF. Basically, if you are doused with it over more than a few % of your body, you are a dead man.

Although Whink is only around 3% HF, it's nothing to treat lightly.

 

[DangerkittyToTheRescue]

Yeah, that hydroflouric acid is nasty, we use Sapphire's Rust & Tannin, we're a distributor so we get a decent price on it and we cannot have the technicians running around with something that dangerous.

Back in the day, many years ago, used the hydroflouric acid on my rusty old white wagon wheels on my Subaru Brat, 3 minutes later, looked like it rolled off the showroom floor, no rust whatsoever. Man alive, what we did back in the day.

"Wussie?"I'm the farthest thing from a "wussie" that you'll ever meet. I've finished jobs with a broken wrist from a fall, a bicep torn off the bone from moving a bed,got home on my my mountain bike with a torn knee and broken ribs - and a whack of other shit that would send most people howling.I can think of nothing that hurt like my fingers did from this crap and the fallout from just a miniscule amount. Can you smell it? You're absorbing it. A local hack didn't rinse or neutralize properly and had to replace an office's windows as the glass was etched when staff returned Monday morning. Another local guy stuck a rag with a little on it in his back pocket and that didn't turn out well. The only thing that contains it is plastic- not glass, metal or any other material. A miniscule slash - that you may not even notice at the time- can mess you up. A tiny droplet to the eye? You're done with seeing from that one. Think about what would happen if you got in an accident and that gallon of Whink went all over you. A kid climbs in your van while you're working.
You're young and probably best to understand that us elders learned from experience and not bullshit bravado.What we've learned came through experience and scar tissue should be invaluable to you. But then again you just can't cure stupid
AND F#@K YOU AND YOUR "WUSSIES" horseshit sonny. Ignorance is of little or no value in the emergency ward.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Its not good stuff to have when you consider liability.

Sure it works faster but the risks are just not worth having on the truck or in your clients homes.

 

[bob vawter]

forget what brand....
BUT it was about my first week into cleaning (right after i killed that old lady)...
sooooo i hit the rust spot

and rubbed it in wit my fingers........can't describe the pain and damage to my fingers
i STILL barely have fingerprints......

 

[Desk Jockey]

Way back in the old days you'd occasionally get a scare when the carpet would turn purple. Fortunately you could neutralize it and correct it.
Indicator dye can be such a surprise!

Frankly, John. I find the above statement to be................shall we say...........moronic?

Anybody that chooses to use a crazy product like that (one that can etch glass, eat your flash to the bone and god knows what else), while other, almost as good products without the "moronic" level of risk and liability are available, is, shall we say: wisdom challenged.
