I tried this but now I'm kind of getting a headache. It doesn't seem to be working that well either. I think I'm just going to fill up a five gallon bucket with it and stir it around with the shovel, maybe that'll do it.

this stuff works great.
we buy it in 55 gal drums for work.
if its rusty, this will remove the rust.
depending on many factors as to the final look at the end.
how fresh the mix is(less potent over time, if the mix is inky black, time for more), soaking temp(warmer is better), how clean the part being soaked is(cleaner is better).
if metal is really rusty it will be pitted and nothing can be done for that, short of resurfacing.
claims to be non-toxic, but i always have to wear nitrile gloves.
