Horosolve Rust Remover WARNING


Recommended Posts

Recently I have been restoring a Roamer watch movement which had suffered from water ingress. The centre wheel was really badly rusted and although I have a donor part I thought I would try "Horosolve Rust Remover "

Well the instructions suggest 10 mins or longer for badly effected parts. BUT I dipped it in the solution & because of family commitments I completely forgot about it for two days. ANYWAY see pics the centre part of the wheel was completely dissolved gone. I don,t know the formula/chemical in this stuff but it must be very powerful indeed.

Chemically looks similar to alloy wheel cleaner. I bet this is not cheap? If you are looking for a less aggressive solution, very cheap - Coca-Cola contains mild phosphoric acid and the fizz is a goo agitator
