MOLASSES TEST

[rustystone2112]

Okay here's a preview of the progress, I still need to remove the battery tray from the light shell so the spots under the feet of the battery tray can get clean the tray is toast but I can still use the shell and lens. The rest of the rack , the top and front leg are still soaking still a couple small rust spots where the front leg and top come together around the screw hole . So is there anyone here that still doesn't believe molasses removes rust

I clear coated everything to keep it from flash rusting and tore apart an old flashing cat eye tail light with 5 red LED's

Very nice. but looks oh so brittle.

A little but I'll eventually lay a piece of fiberglass on the inside of the light and then fill the all the holes with bondo or JBWeld ,sand & finish , and a little JBWeld on the hole on the edge of the rack . I just sprayed everything with clear so I could keep it from flash rusting and show the results that it really does remove ALL the rust and not just convert it to something black

Another candidate for the molasses. I got these in early December from Jeff@bikesnbuses knowing they were pretty toasty but believing I can save them and the price was fair and all lenses were present.
So first I tested the horn before tearing it apart and it still worked, then I soaked them for about 7 weeks now all the rust is gone except the light bottom needs another day or two. Even the chrome grill on the horn got much brighter

So what's the next step that you take after the rust removal and primer? Are you replacing metal? Fiberglassing it?
