Re: Rust removal
I've personally applied strong muriatic acid directly to the toilet here on countless occasions. Walmart sells it labeled as "Toilet Bowl Cleaner." It is quite effective at removing rust and other "stuff." Flush it down and the septic system does the rest.

Re: Rust removal
I'd use electrolytic rust removal. I have a 55 gallon plastic drum filled with water plus a cup of washing soda, miscellaneous ugly steel for sacrificial electrodes, and a 12 Volt 10 Amp transformer-type battery charger I picked up for $5.00 at a yard sale. The setup thoroughly removes rust and pain...

Re: Looking for a microscope
Yes, I can. Soldering resistors and capacitors down to 0602 and SMD ICs is no problem for me so far. I routinely do prototyping on microcontroller devices at that size. Liquid flux is my friend there!liveaboard wrote:that's cool!
But are you able to solder those tiny components?
