Molasses Rust Removal

[Jim Burrill]

Picked up a plastic water bin (called an IBC COntainer - 275 gallons) inside an aluminum frame. I intend to cut open the top and use my hoist to place three bren carrier tracks down in.

The tracks had been rolled up and have rusted in place.

I hope the molasses method can free them up so I can see what repairs must be done.

Once set in the tank, I can use the hoist to load the tank with tracks - no liquid yet - for transport to a friends' farm for long term storage. Once there, will use a front-end loader to hoist the tank off the truck and set in place, then fill with 1 part molasses : 10 parts water. Going to be a lot of molasses... about 25 gallons I expect.

Using a wheelie bin for the other loose parts and a smaller submerged basket for the even smaller parts sounds promising too.

Here is a link if I can get it to work. http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/...w&gclsrc=aw.ds
