I've called several feed stores in my area and they can't tell me....does anyone know a brand name or somewhere I can buy sulphated molasses in order to try the rust removing experiment of water and sulphated molasses? Thanks in advance.
Most shade tree mechanics will equate Phosphoric Acid with molasses, vinegar, coke etc... and they are right.. those products contain phosphoric acid in some diluted quantity. The most readily available forms of phos. acid are in cleaning products. CLR, tile/grout cleaners, or even simply marked 'Phosphoric Acid Cleaner' will contain more phos. acid than we need for our purposes. The phos. acid put out by Aquamix (available at Lowes) is 23% phosphoric acid by volume... pretty good stuff. You can even pay for expensive 'metal prep' products from auto body stores (made by 3M), but there are nothing more than fancy bottles of phos. acid.
