I put molasses on my flapjacks every morning and so far, no rust.
Thanks, Project Farm!

Growing up in a farm community, we used to take a large plastic garbage can, fill it with water and 5 gallons of molasses. Which you got from the 10, 000 gallon tank at the feed store, bring your on container, for about $3. We would just throw anything that needed rust removed in the can and fish it out a month later. When the molasses had finished its usefulness, it would get turned into the garden soil. 100% recycled. Cannot say one way or another if this was a good idea or a bad one, but you got to love the ingenuity and the practically.

I really appreciate how meticulous you are with making the tests a fair and level playing field. I don't think people in a laboratory environment could do a better job.
Thank you for all your hard work.

So molasses works... its just slow as, well, molasses.


Okay I'll see myself out.

I've been using Molasses for rust removal for more than 50 years. I learned this from my Grandfather. Its great to see a side-by-side comparison with other rust removal products.

You are a knowledge bank and a detail master. Keep it up mate

This video brought back an old forgotten memory about what an old sage friend of mine had told me about many years ago. He was an expert in rebuilding and restorations of cars. Museum quality. To him though, they quit making "real cars" back in the 30's. He had told me about a guy who many years before had sealed up a service station pit and had filled it up with molasses. They would lower a whole car down into it and let it soak for a month or two. It striped the rust off of the entire car. Inside and out. Even places where blasting media couldn't reach such as inside of a box beam. He had mentioned that it only ate the rust and didn't harm any still perfectly good steel. I guess he was right. Thanks again for a great video. Keep up the good work.

Your video on evaporust saved me a good amount of $$$. I'm rebuilding the suspension of a 20 year old car, instead of buying new bolts, I soaked the old bolts in evaporust overnight, voila like brand new. Thanks!

Molasses been removing the rust from my wife's cooking for years.

The poor moles that had to sacrifice to make that large jug of molasses.

Interesting fact that perked me up when I saw the metal flakes come out, one of the original black dyes found in history is a compound called "Vinagroon", and it was made by dissolving iron filings in vinegar. I'm involved in historical reenacting and have made it on quite a few occasions for recreation leather and textile work.
Keep up the good work man! I love your channel

I love how you read the product's marketing angles like they are indisputable facts. Then...

Note to self: if PF invites you over, bring your own beverages and do not let them out of your sight.

This is why I always look forward to your videos, always learning crazy old school ways of doing things. First time I heard of the molasses and water.

That weird moment when the "troll" suggestion wins the shootout.

[kbjerke]

Yeah, acid eats pretty much everything - not just rust. At work, I generally use electrolysis to remove rust from small, irreplaceable parts. Good video, though!!!

I don't know how I missed this video when it came out. So glad I watched it. Such great information in your videos. From the design of your experiments to the data collection and analysis, you're like a one man research lab! Thanks so much for the great content.
