so me being my always questioning self looked at the msds for evapo rust. it uses a chelating ingredient but doesn't say exactly what. so i looked up the definition of chelating. Guess what both vinegar and lemon juice are chelators lol. 

Reminds of the time i was trying to make my IT tech realize his five dollar an ounce cd cleaner was nothing but isopropyl alcohol. yea i prolly wont waste the money now that i think about it.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

I realize this is a necro post but I felt there was something I could add, should anyone cruise through old threads and read through them looking for information. There are a lot of good tips already for removing the rust so I won't get into that.

After I remove rust from tools and stamps however, I use Birchwood-Casey Super Blue or Birchwood-Casey Perma Blue to seal the metal. It's touch-up bluing and turns bare metal dark blue or black but does keep it from corroding right away, provided you take care of your tools and don't leave them out in a damp environment to rust up again. You can get it from ebay, Amazon or any number of gun smithing suppliers.
