Chain treatment
I have just cleaned up my rusty chain with muriatic acid (swimming pool
acid) and it's nice and shiney bright now. Any suggestions on what to treat
it with to keep the rust from coming back? I tried WD40 but that don't
work. Wonder if some type of chemical rust remover/convert would work?
Your wisdom please.
Thanks

Re: Chain treatment
In the ARMY, we used to drug them around behind the vehicles until
we wore most of them away, like you did with your acid, then mixed
grease with gasoline to dip them in, and let them dry for the next GI.

Re: Chain treatment
Hi Gus,
WD40 is a penetrant that absorbs water. Try one of these water repellant
lubricant/protectants instead:

Re: Chain treatment
I use a product called Break Free CPL first came in contact with it back in
the late 70s used in a marine environment not even the brass turned green.
I was developed to protect military weapon systems from corrosion.
