Fall is here, which means that winter is just around the corner, and so is rust. WHAT? You read that correctly. Rust and winter go hand in hand. The fun winter weather brings a lot of moisture, which makes the conditions for rust just right. Here’s how to be rust-free in winter.
Get Rid of Rust and Keep Your Tools Rust Free This Winter
Follow these simple steps to be rust-free and prepared for winter:
Prep
Remove any excess dirt and oil from the item. Pour enough CRC EVAPO-RUST® into a container to cover it completely. The type of container doesn’t matter since CRC EVAPO-RUST® will not harm unrusted steel, is safe on other metals, and doesn’t affect plastic.
Soak
Let the item soak for 30 minutes for light rust or up to overnight for extremely heavy rust.
Rinse
Rinse the item with water. If rust remains, re-immerse it until all the rust is gone. Un-rusted metal will not be affected. This step is important to get the best results.
Protect
Allow the item to air dry. This will prevent rust for up to two days. Spray with CRC RUST-BLOCK™ after air drying to prevent re-rusting for up to one year.
Pro Tip: To prevent rust, keep your tools dry. Be sure to store them in a dry place and dry them thoroughly after each use.
