[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 530060, member: 9215"] The presses were made by the Hollywood Gun Shop decades ago, very hard to find today. Especially so in THAT pristine condition! Muratic acid will, as you found, break down ferrous oxide (rust) pretty quick and will do so the very bottom of any pits. Good stuff! BUT, it has some potentially serious draw backs. And, yes, a baking soda solution kill it. Do that, then wash, dry and oil anything you worked on, quick or it will flash rust. One, it will eat your flesh too, not to mention what it will do to your eyes and lips! The thick, burning, choking vapors will condense on YOU and in your air passages if you inhale it as surely as if it were spilt. And on anything else it touches. Meaning it's best used outdoors with you standing up-wind. AND, use your baking soda wash down on anything else the vapors may have collected on or you ain't yet seen how fast rust will form on whatever! [/QUOTE]
