Read it in the archives here. 6 parts Water to 1 part Molasses. IT WORKS!! Had some old pot belly stove cast iron legs that I found on my property, guess they have been buried about 30-40 yrs. Tried a wire brush but it only got some of the rust. Filled up a 5 gallon bucket and some molasses and waited about 17 days. Pulled them out today, I couldnt believe it. Hosed them off with water and scrubbed some of the gooey stuff off. Make sure you buy the Molasses that doesn't say "Sulfur Free". This site never ceases to amaze me. Thanks everyone!!

Walt et al: Why avoid sulfer free? Is it the sulfer that does the real work? Maybe just use more sulfer added into the mixture? Hopeing for more insite from someone. Thanks. harvey

From what I have read. The sulphur-dixoide is the active ingredient...

As the sulphur (or sulfur) begins to decompose, it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2), but sulfuric acid as well. The SO2 does the majority of the work, but with time, the concentration of sulfuric acid builds, so I wouldn't leave it in there forever, as it would eventually attack the original metal.
