does anyone have an opinion of CLR or Lime Away as a rust and forge scale remover? I know they arent as cheap as the ol vinegar method but other than that? lemme know.

I've used both on antiques that I've tried to restore and I've found that lemon juice works as well as anything. I usually let stuff soak overnight in it and it works pretty good

They aren't as good as vinegar or lemon juice. I am using more metal prep now (phosphoric acid base) and some soap to get rid of grease and oil.

Lemon Juice works well for me, a good 24hr. soak!!!..... Norm :
