Removing Rust During Restoration

4. Remember to tilt the panel up on all its edges to get them clean. The acid will go inside the panel and clean up the seams too. It will need time to soak for an effective job. Let the solutions sit for 2-4 hours.
5. Pick the panel up to see how clean it is. It took four hours to clean the deep pits completely out of this panel each panel will vary in the time it requires; just make sure to check it every 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure all the necessary materials are ready to work on the panel before it starts to rust again.

6. About a pound of baking soda is then added to the acid solution. The soda will bubble and neutralize the solution. The panel should be completely submerged in the neutralized solution to throughly clean it. After three to four minutes the panel should be removed and washed out with water, and then blown dry wih and air hose.

NOTE: Now take the litmus paper and test the pH level of the acid solution. your waste management company will tell you the acceptable range for your city. Pour in soda until the level is in the proper range for disposal.
