For those who have not ever used "rust removal by electrolysis" it is a great way of restoring old tools and stuff alike. All it removes is the rust and nothing else. Once I get it down to bare metal I can coat it with whatever you guys say works the best. On stuff I am going to paint, I mist vegetable oil on the piece because all it takes is hot soapy water to remove. I thought I read boiled linseed oil is preferred on anvils, but I'm open to suggestions, thanks guys!
