so what happens to the spring steel?I've found out over the years , certain tools and Evaporust don't get along for some reason . These dividers and feeler gauges to name a few . The spring steel is the issue on the dividers , not sure why .

Yes , but why ? I found this out on my own and can't explain it to anyone , but I know it's the truth !Certain acids kill spring steel very rapidly. Vinegar is a definite no no. It loses its spring and breaks if flexed.
yes, but evapo rust is not an acid. it's a chelated process.. think of it more like potatoes in water... yea, I tried that once to derust these long, long bars for a wood working machine... it worked but it stunk ... I had to leave it in there for a long time... Evapo rust is the same chelated process but no smell...Certain acids kill spring steel very rapidly. Vinegar is a definite no no. It loses its spring and breaks if flexed.
how long do you think is necessary? 1 hour - 2 hours - 3 hours... 1 day?Well , only one way to get to the truth ! I have to stop over work to say HI to everyone , but after that , I'll set up a test of sort . I have about 100 or so mixed dividers and will pick out a sacrificial lamb . I'll use the Rust Lick from WD-40 ( same as Evaporust ) . Lets see what happens !
You trust ME ?Not that I don't trust you Dave, but it's worth another test.
