===Chemical removal of rust===
 
Chemical removal of rust can be done with materials that spray or paint onto the surface, or by soaking.
 
 
Applicable chemicals:
 
*Phosphoric acid
 
*Muriatic acid
 
*Toilet bowl cleaner (?)
 
*Naval jelly
 
*Coca-cola (?)
 
*Vinegar (?)
 
 
After using an acid to remove rust, flush the surface with water and baking soda (confirm or expand on this).
 
After acid, flush with water and baking soda.
 
 
Lots of "rust neutralizers/metal etchers/floor etchers/metal conditioners" contain primarily phosphoric acid, which turns the rust into a hard black substance.
