Bless me Fr, for I have sinned! It's been 6 months since my last metal grindings onboard. Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was at anchor and needed 4 pipes shortened by 6 inches to complete the floor support jack installation. So I broke out the tools and finished the work. Now, 6 months later, I still have not finished the clean up!

I forgot I have some of that onboard. I've used it on rust stain drips from my ER vents. Works great.

Been there done that Al. I also used oxalic acid. I've heard that lemon juice will work as well but have not tried it.

Now that I've got a 10 year supply of oxalic acid, I'll be looking for new uses for this stuff!
