[QUOTE=Bustaknot;17207129]I'm in a small condo and work on my bike on our patio. I'm in the process of removing rust from the frame and decided on evapo-rust.

I believe the instructions for evapo-rust are to dunk your parts in a container of the stuff and let it soak for a few hours. Unfortunately due to my space constraints, I don't really have anything I can dunk a frame into, nor the space.

I was wondering if anyone had any techniques for this? I was thinking about soaking a rag in the stuff and wrapping it around the frame tubes where the rust is. Has anyone tried something like this with success?[/QUOTE


I have done similar many times using multi-layer blue paper shop towel pieces saturated to dripping with EvapoRust. Use pieces large enough to cover the rusty spot and wrap the wet towel with clear plastic kitchen wrap to prevent evaporation of the liquid. Leave it on for a coupla hours and repeat as needed. The spot should be degreased prior to using the EvapoRust. To treat tubes internally just plug/tape the bottom hole and fill from the top hole following the same guideline of letting it soak an hour or so before draining. The ER can be reused after filtering or waiting for the solids/sludge to settle out.
