Naval Jelly ?

[noresttill]

Ive never used naval jelly but once, and the piece I used it on now has a yellowish hue. Is this normal or is this rust from the rinsing?

Thanks

Try some sand paper, to see if the color will come off.

[noresttill]

Wow, the color came right off. There are still the "marks" where they were but not color, thanks. Was that normal for Jelly?

PS I used 000 Steel wool

I haven't used it much. I have used Aircraft Paint remover, which is probably the same stuff, to do a small part on some cast iron heads, and took it to bare cast.

You have to spread toe jam on it to remove the color.

That's fairly normal - it's usually atmospheric surface rust from not painting once the metal is clean.

I prefer using "Rust-Mort" - check body shop supply houses. It seems to work better, and it's easier to use. Also, it's a rust converter - which leaves some sort of surface layer against atmospheric corrosion...

Its weird, the rust appeared right after using the stuff. Maybe because it was wet. I sanded it this morning and have zero discoloration on it still.

Its for a project of very little tolerances, and the pieces are in the white, so I cant paint it until im done, and I cant assemble it if there is (surface) rust on it for obvious reasons.

Yep - atmospheric corrosion. Spray down with WD-40 - that's what it was invented for ("Water Displacer, 1940.")

Despite what everyone seems to think, WD-40 is not a lubricant (although it's often used as such) nor is it any sort of cleaner - it's simply a "shop preservative" for steel in-the-white. Just what you're needing.

Removing WD is quite easy when you're ready to finish - most carburettor cleaners will serve, as will acetone, MEK, denatured alcohol, turpentine, or lacquer thinner. Electrical contact cleaner might also work (if it doesn't leave a "protective film,") but the ones in the list work best and DON'T leave a film. They are also readily available - I can still get them at the hardware store, here in CA...

Also, whenever you have to wash steel using water, use the HOTTEST WATER YOU CAN STAND. It will evapourate much more quickly, reducing opportunities for corrosion. This is especially true for sheet steel in anything other than "mill sheet" (read: flat) form.

Thanks, I knew that stuff was good for something.

I sand blasted it again, am assembling it now, and if anything pops up again I sandblat before painting. I have a phosphosic prep to use before painting, but that is being shipped with the paint.

As always 5-90,

Thanks,

There are some compensations to a widely chequered past...

Jesse Most likely your problem is her naval is having an allergic reaction to your choice of lubricant. Naval jelly, although effective....isnt the best choice for belly play. I prefer the KY warming sensations....just my .02

oh....and you can never rinse too much. ESPECIALLY if you think shes dirty.....

I'm really surprised it took 10 posts for someone to make that joke.

It was too obvious, and too easy. I just couldn't be bothered...

BEWARE
That rustmort stuff is nasty! i spilled some on my filing cabnet once and it ate right through the paint, and when i went to clean it up it tried to eat through me!
