Evapo-Rust Gel
#3

I can't say anything about Evapo-Rust Gel, however I have always used, with very good results, LockTITE Navel Jelly on the chassis and LockTITE Aluminum Jelly on the aluminum cans and newer tuning capacitor frames and plates. I apply it with a small brush, doing a small area of the chassis at a time, then using the 3M green scrubbing pad, wet, I rub the Jelly all around, really good. Next I take an old hand terry cloth towel soaked in hot water to clean the rust and Jelly off the chassis or can. Finally I dry it with an old towel. Just do not use the coiled aluminum pot and pan scrubbers, to cut the rust, or you can easily end up with a shorted circuit. The LockTITE Jelly comes in a small 8oz container and one container will easily be enough to do four or five chassis.
