Argh… I keep ruining things through fatigue and not paying attention. Things that cost money. My hair scissors have rusted because I left them on the sink and water splashed. Maybe if I remove the rust with vinegar and try to put the edge back on the blade where it got eaten at… though I’m not amazing at it.
And it would probably come back. I should have got a little thing of sewing machine oil when I ordered something else
WD-40 removes rust too
This is the way. Also prevents rust. Whenever I use the garden saw I give it a rinse, dry it then spray wd40. No rust ever.
don't use vinegar it will eat them even more. Depending on rust levels you can just make a lil' ball of alfoil and gently polish with that, also fold alfoil into several "layers" and chop away with scissors to restore the edge.
Oops. Taking it out of the vinegar now
I’ll give foil a try
Olive oil will work in a pinch.
Wouldn’t it go rancid? Maybe I’ll try baby oil
I mean, you don't need much, it will still soak into the metal it'll dry out before it goes rancid and by then you'll have singer oil. Alternatively, use the oil from your car's dipstick. Also yuck, but please like, subscribe and hit that notification button down there.
