Yoga, huh? My doctor told me not to do that anymore. I think I have the only disease in the world that yoga won't help! I'll have to be careful not to contort myself into a headstand, or some other "forbidden" posture while wrenching.
I tried some rust remover this evening. "Krud-Something" from Walmart. I'd forgotten how much I hate going in there. Anyway, it says to keep any painted surface wet the whole time it's working, which is half an hour. Obviously, if I paint it on, it will dry in that time. Therefore, I had to rinse before much had happened, to keep from leaving dried rust remover on the paint, which it says is bad news right on the bottle. So anyone who has used this stuff successfully, how did you do it? Seems like I'd have to dip the frame to get it to work, and that would require a great deal of "Krud-Something" to do! I also suspect the decals wouldn't enjoy it.
Speaking of decals, I used the magic eraser (Cleaning Tool of the Gods, you know) on the decals, very gently. They look much better, though it took a very careful cleaning to not remove them entirely with the eraser.
There's way more rust than I thought there would be on the frame. It seems to be everywhere, like someone sprinkled rust dust on it like glitter. So any thoughts on the rust remover are appreciated.
