Dear Neil, Regarding rust removal, as in the February issue, whist clearing out the basement, I found a pair of simple wire strippers on the floor that must have been there from before I moved into the house, which was 10 years ago.They were very rusty, and seized. After reading up on rust removal on the internet, and asking permission from my wife, I immersed them for 24 hours in 'white vinegar', in our case, branded cider vinegar, in a plastic tray from a takeaway, and then, since once cleaned they will rust if you so much as look at them, sprayed them with WD-40 and 24 hours later, with a white lithium grease aerosol.They now look pristine, they work properly, and I have added them to my electronic tool collection.
