It's the before shot. It is too hot to handle right after taking it out. Will get the after shot shortly.

I added a pint of Evapo-Rust to this one to see what would happen. High heat overnight. Works even better and in less time. 1 gallon AF and 1 PT -- ER. I will see if this is OK with Aluminum also. I have some old worn out model engines to play with.

I would like to try this in my basement, but my wife will kill me if I stink up her house If you want to see how a total AMATURE make mistakes doing what you're doing, check out my restoration.
