Is kitchen vinegar enough or do you usually need something more concentrated?

I understood there was a risk of leaving it in too long and having the vinegar eat the metal. That was my worry - I had no guarantee I was going to be able to get back within 24-hours. The very notion that it COULD eat the metal gave me some pause.

What’s their profit margin though? And what does that do to the brand? The Eclipse was at the bottom of the REV-IT price list, but the brand attaches to the entire product line and they have a lot of much more expensive products that might be adversely affected. Are people going to be as...

What I did when I did electrolysis on my tank was: - plug the drain, - fill it with water and washing soda - jury rigged some rebar bent into an L-shape so that it could project deeper into the recess of the tank. - used some foam that I jammed in the filler hole to hold the rebar in place...

BTW - Full disclosure, I know next to nothing about electrolysis. I know there are lots of guys here way more knowledgeable than I. I know @Mad Mike suggested vinegar when I started thinking about derusting my tank and I did go out and buy a bunch of jugs of vinegar; at the end I just didn't...

I'll lend you my totally redneck kit if you want! $5 old-school Mastercraft charger from a garage sale (modern ones won't work), box of washing soda, rebar, jumper cables, and a rubbermaid bin. I'll see if I can find some pictures I took. Tons of videos out there, but in real life it's even...

Coke will release rust simply by submersion without any aluminum foil or abrasion required. It’s dilute but that just means it needs to be replenished more often, and will take longer than using a more concentrated acid.

I fell for it. I watched that video twice trying to find where you dealt with the heavily rusted piece in the teaser picture. I've tried the coke and tin foil on rustier pieces than the one in the video and was disappointed, but I guess I was asking for too much. Electrolysis on the other...

Coke has phosphoric acid in it.

Snap-on Computer Wheel Balancer $500 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1722836982074604 At $500, that's less than the (new) price of a small set of Snap-on wrenches.

It seems like there may not be anything Dawn doesn’t do. Washing dishes, setting tire beads, breaking down poison ivy oil, acting as an insecticide and suffocating fleas, keeping your visor and glasses fog free, keeping your hands clean before they get dirty. Anything else?

I just got this from Amazon. I had to see what it could do for $20. https://a.co/d/0gLG2r1u Build quality definitely not the same as my Noco or even Fanttik products, but it’s $20 for both compressor and jump pack (and of course the now ubiquitous power bank). It would not be choice in the...

Hopefully this doesn't signify problems at REV-IT, or that they're moving downmarket. It's hard to maintain upmarket branding and prices when the brand is available at retailers - rightly or wrongly - associated with lower-quality offerings. The same goes for product offered at a very low...

Did you take a picture? That would be something.

I don't know what I need, but I can tell you that these things keep coming loose. There's only one way to tighten these mirrors. I tried the Nylock. It didn't leave nearly enough threads in the perch. Didn't take long before it loosened enough that the thing was about to fall out. I...

Yesterday I went to ChatGPT and asked it to plot me a nice 6-8 hour ride from Toronto. I didn't want to go to Muskoka or the Haliburtons because I'm there quite a lot anyways. What an exercise in frustration that was. It kept asking me questions, telling me where to go and what it needed to...

It was reduced to $40K.

Thanks OP - your post reminded me that I wanted to do this. I booked just now for the July introductory session. Might be a slippery slope. Anyone else going? @KevinL21 have you been posting recently on Facebook about Racer5?

It’s all M8. Going to go to Home Depot or Canadian Tire and look for Nylocks. Interestingly when I was at Brafasco they had a bunch of different sized quantities of LocTite, but only blue and red. I thought I had heard there was a purple that was intermediate but they didn’t have any there
