New Fragging Kit

Rice, to soak up all moisture.

 

+1 Rice....growing up ALL of our saltshakers had rice in them to keep the salt from absorbing moisture and clumping. Now my wife eats so much salt that it doesn't have time to clump.

 

Karma to you!!!!

Sorry this dropped earlier. There were an emergency that popped up.

Dry off your tools and then shove them into some rice. You won't have any moisture issues. In my fragging toolbox, I also have those dessicant packages and canisters you get out of vitamin/medicine pills. You can also put a panty hose with rice in there.

BTW.....at the hardware store the other day, there was a bag with 100% NATURAL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE CELL PHONE DRYING BEADS. LOL It was a silver re-sealable bag filled with rice.

 

This is so easy it's unbelievable.

Soak your tools in vinegar for 5~10 minutes.
Lay your tools out and put a small amount of baking soda on the bad rust stains. It will foam and have "scrubbing bubbles".
Using a soft toothbrush, work with the rust gently. Small stains will be gone instantly. You can also add a little more vinegar and baking soda and scrub a little more for stubborn stains.
Rinse and dry off.
Put them in rice to completely dry.
Wipe dry.
Use cotton balls/Q-tips, etc and put mineral oil on all moving parts.
Use a paper towel and remove excess oil.

Vinegar and baking powder doing it's job. When bubbling ceases, the baking powder works as an abrasive but it's a gentle enough abrasive for stainless steel.

 

Nice thread, Curt. Thanks for the info on the specific tools and how to clean them properly.

 

i wish my equipments were more organized like yours! haha

 

Great thread, thanks for sharing with us. The roommates Tooth brush is the best though.

 

:-X i thought i tasted baking soda and sushi on my toothbrush this morning!

I guess it is only fair, as i am horrible with cleaning the tools after using them!

 

Thanks for sharing.
