DoomsdaysCWSo, whenever possible, I stick to household solutions to remove rust -- lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar -- and a lot of elbow grease. As for rust-proofing the objects afterwards? That can be a bit problematic, since it seems most rust-preventing paints for metal contain PFAS (I'm looking into alternatives. Linseed oil paint might be good for metal). Mineral spirits and paraffin wax are another way to rust-proof metal, but both are petroleum products. Limonene and beeswax might be a petroleum-free way to rust-proof metal, but I haven't tried it yet (though I have both on hand).

Juliet Merida, Dum Tran Elf 🏳️‍⚧️Next up for the electrolysis tank: This roller coaster upstop wheel from Holiday World's The Raven that I won at a charity auction. My mom decided I didn't want it anymore (???) and threw it in the drainage ditch across from her house (!!!) where I had to fish it out all rusted. <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RollerCoasters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RollerCoasters</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/HolidayWorld" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HolidayWorld</a> <a href="https://merida.hair/tags/RustRemoval" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustRemoval</a>
