[100%]

Isn't it that...
Cokecoca relieves iron from the strains of rust?


Atleast that what i use to releave my bike chain from da errosion syndrom

yes, it works.

I did this one time with a strip-steak. The coke turned it into liquid mush in 3 days

:lol: :lol:

it's an important experiment :ermm:

later i'm gonna put brasso (if we've got any) against some more coke on a rusty bicycle :ph34r:

[Money Fist]

hmmm
do u think maybe mouth wash has the same effect?

im gonna do it now
a cup of mouth wash
and a 1p coin

[TheDave]

if i do the steak one i'm gonna cook it first as oxygen makes it rancid anyway, dont know if that makes any difference with it sunmerged in coke :unsure:

[TheDave]

i cant find teh brasso, though i can find an empty can of wd40 and a rusty bike wheel. shall i proceed with the experiment?

[*goddess*]

:D May as well.

:) And include pictorial evidence.

[DarthInsinuate]

waste of coke :no:

[*goddess*]

:unsure: Not if it's already flat and noone wants to drink it.

[DarthInsinuate]

i like flat coke

[*goddess*]

:sick: Yuk, so does my kid.

this was just using a dry cloth to buff it up a bit

there was no wd40 left so i just tried the water :unsure: . a little better than air, but :no: anyway

i soaked the cloth in coke and started scrubbing, after about 20 seconds there seemed to be a difference. i was kinda intrigued and scrubbed more but nothing happened. i lay a coke soaked cloth around the area for a few minutes and watched nieghbours . then back to scrubbing for a few minutes but there was very little further effect.


verdict: little doubt coke is effective in attacking rust but i think i'll stick to brasso when i can find it :ph34r:

[Skiz]

Use the coke and scrub with tin foil ;)

[TheDave]

i'll try that. i checked the wheel about an hour ago and it still looks wet even though it isn't :blink:

i would have used brillo pads but we don't have any of those either

i have also decided my macro lense is the shiznit. tonight i might try the steak thing and the grease thing too

[TheDave]

almost forgot. the nail didn't dissappear, it flaked a bit but its as strong as ever

[ziggyjuarez]

True science...

[TheDave]

well i had the choice of believing republicans or testing their theories.

luckily nobody died this time
