bringing this back up ... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bump.gif)
Anyone that dipped any bolts for an extended period notice the the threads getting eaten away ? I haven't used this particular mix, just white vinegar itself, on a set of lower control arms and left them in for over a week, the threads on the exposed part of the t bar adjustments were eaten to the point of the bolts being junk.
How bad were they to begin with? If the corrosion is really deep all you're removing is the oxidized metal and the damage was done well before it was put in the bath.
With different materials and levels of corrosion, it's best to check at least a once a day on the progress.
I know the galvanized headlight buckets tend to lose their "sheen" within a few hours and don't require near the time to de-rust and clean while I had shock plates in the solution for 2+ weeks. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

what does the vineagar do to other parts such as brass, alum. copper?? if one of them metals were mated to steel that you was de-rusting?

no guido/piney here!!! ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif) at least i think its silver? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif) i even tossed in a crusty fender tag also to try out ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) after 9 hrs the adjusters are still frozen solid on the threads.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif) the rods do have nasty residue on them but look like they are cleaning up the fender tag is looking better i guess i will let it soak for another day and see if the adjusters will free up

iv been messing with some over last week or 2 even thou you got it soaking take a small brass brush pull the part out and lightly brush it you will see a film come right off may be a couple spots size of a corn flake that may need some extra soaking iv learned you have to have the whole part submerged as i had a tail shaft housing off a 4 speed and had enuff to cover half way up (laying down) well you cant roll it over and do the other side but the side that was in worked very good as this thing looked like its been outside in the weather for years lol

here are my findings the shift rods cleaned up like new but the adjusters are still frozen ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif) i'm soaking them in pb blaster now the fender tag came out nice and clean but it now has some holes in it that it didn't have before ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif) i threw in a tag i didn't care about but i don't think i'm throwing any tag i care about any time soon ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif) overall some pretty good results, but i would be real careful about what i would put into this solution ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)

Baking soda will neutralize acid, but you need to use enough of it to do a complete job. Mix it into a super saturated soloution (keep pouring powder and mixing in to water until the powder no longer disolves and piles up on the bottom)
Not to be a D!cK, but super saturation refers to elevated saturation levels due to conditions other than normal, for example: increased pressure or temperature. What you are referring to is merely a saturated condition.
Ok, yeah I'm a nerd. Carry on...
