not sure of price, but if you can get a honer, use your drill, then just light oil, and spin it out, easy not to much;;; check at harbor freight.

Because the primary use for the stuff is as a pool chemical I have never been able to buy less than a gallon.If you clean cylinders daily for the rest of your life you will still have some left.Drops clean of most spots.I can't stress strongly enough about fumes from the stuff causing rust in your shop Spaz.If you can do it outside and store excess carefully it works great.Don't drink it!

You can de-rust stuff with too. Gave my rusty metrakit pipe a nice hydrocloric bath and after half an hour it was all clean!

I went through a gallon pretty quickly when i was flipping scoots. I used it to clean fuel tanks, nuts and bolts, everything! I keep a solo cup filled with some m acid and water for any rusty bolts. Drop them in, wait 15 minutes- shiny clean!

All true I too use it for the same stuff but you have to neutralize it and lubricate parts well.I just cleaned my vino tank with it and it got past my cheapassed china hemostadt and ate up the vacuum petcock.Pure short cut laziness on my part or it wouldn't have happened.

I bought a gallon from Homie Depot a couple months ago. I use it for removing rust and lime deposits in plumbing mostly. The gallon will last way past me. It took 5 years to use a quart bottle. I usually store the bottle inside a sealed plastic bucket. The fumes from a sealed bottle will rust everything in the area. Nasty stuff.

It also ruined the primary shaft and starter ring race on a couple minas I had in the shed too. Store the stuff outside! |

I have no where to store the stuff so I'll try to give it away to my apartment complex for the pool. I knew the stuff was bad, but didn't realize that even in a sealed bottle that it would be able to rust stuff around it. That's crazy.
On a side note: I tried using a little this morning to get the aluminum off and I was using Q-tips, but it wasn't working that fast. I can see it working, but I was really hoping that it would be faster. I'll work on it some more tomorrow.

Just remember all chlorides are soluble. There are a few exceptions but you probably don't have to worry about them. The acid will eat the iron cylinder and will attack the interface between the iron cylinder wall and the aluminum.
Temperature increases reaction rates.
"All chlorides, bromides and iodides are soluble except those of silver, lead and
mercurous mercury. Lead chloride and lead bromide are slightly soluble in cold water, but are more soluble in hot water. Antimony and bismuth chlorides hydrolyze in water to form white precipitates of the oxychlorides, SbOCl and BiOCl."
