I got a 3-wheeler frame thats got some rust in it, im gunna sandblast teh frame n get it powder coated. Id like to get atleast a little bit of the rust out, its not a lot, but i hate rust. Anyone got any ideas or things they tried to get some or all of it out? Theres a place i know that might dip it in some kinda acid stuff thats cleans to bare metal but they said they might charge a lot. Any ideas?

 

They make a wire brush on the end of a flexy wire. if you can find one course enough you might be able to scratch some off then you can suck it out with a poewrful shop vac or something. just an idea

 

I thought bout that, it'd work for the main tube on top n a few other spots but not where i'd reall yneed it down by the footpegs.

 

I don't know if you figured out your rust problem yet, but alot of times some of that rust eating jelly goop does the trick.

Just apply it and rinse off a few times - the rust is gone (no $hit!)

I don't remember exactly what its called - but it works very well in most cases. It takes off chrome and paint too - so be careful!

sandblast it

 

Ya, im gettin it sandblasted, but theres some rust inside where i cant get to it, i was thinkin of after i get it powder coated, pluggin up all teh holes, then takin a little bit of diesel fuel and used oil and dumpin bout 1/2 cup to a cup of it in there to stop the rust , but i duno, it might not be as bad as i think it is.

 

just don t weld the frame unless that is totally gone we have had a few exsplosions on the farm from welding stuff with flammable liquids in it

There is a product out there that does the same thing, I do not know what it is called, but you pour it in the frame and plug it off then shake the frame around, then drain the extra. It completley stops rust. Buddy of mine is a airplane mechanic, they use it all the time. I will find out the name of it if you want.
