Thanks so much, everyone. I'd never heard of Evaporust, but you can be sure I'll be getting some as soon as ever I find a stockist near where I live. Gee, I hadn't realised how rusty I'd become either: my swivel knife skills need evaporusting as well.

Hi! I'm a new member who's returning to leathercraft after a thirty-year gap. I have a huge collection of tools from 'way back and, of course, most of them are rusty. I've managed to salvage a lot of them by using fine steel wool, a toothbrush and a soft cloth, but many of my good figure carving stamps are still pretty rusty. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a way of getting the rust off my tools so they might be usable again. I don't suppose there's a way of getting them re-plated once this has been done?
I know I can't restore the tools to new condition, but they cost a lot thirty years ago and I doubt I could afford to replace them all at today's prices! Please help if you have any good ideas!

Again, thanks so much for the great response to my problem. I've found a local stockist (SuperCheap Auto Parts) that's supposed to stock Evaporust. Hubby will be making a bee-line there on Monday to get me some. Watch this space! I hope like mad I can restore at least some of my tools and get working.
