I have my best luck useing a wet tumbler. I have made a large bed roller and then constructed the tube out of PVC pipe with a screw-in lid. I use old non-volitile mineral-parts washer solution, and a liberal amount of buckshot, old ball bearings, ect. You just throw in all the old rusty parts, and in about an hour, they come out nicley de-rusted. Pour parts into a coffee can with holes punched in the bottom to strain. Works well with brake parts. But you have to plug any small holes, as bearing and buck shot will lodge, making it very hard to get out. Tom
