Will it work? I don't know, but I thought I would give it a try. Molasses to remove rust.... we shall see.
Ordered two gallons of Molasses on eBay. Found a suitable container for the bath... a Rubbermade storage container with a locking cover. Not sure how many gallons it holds... I put in about 15 to 20 gallons of water and about 1 and a half gallons of Molasses. The images shown here will serve as our "before" shots and then in a couple weeks I will hopefully be adding some less rusty "after" shots. The parts are actually pretty clean already since I just recently sandblasted them a bit. But some rust still remains on a few because I ran out of time to complete the blasting... and wanted to try the molasses method on them anyway. I twisted some wires onto the smaller pieces so I can pull them out for inspection without having to stick my hand in to find them. Some small sections from my bed sides will make great experiment pieces for this (the things with the orange wire on them). So, I submerged one lower control arm, two upper control arms and the bed side sections. Then I locked the cover on and recorded the date. Can't wait to see what happens!
