Ever try vinegar and water? It's been working well for me.
and a whole lot cheaper than Summer's Eve!

Went to my local TS yesterday only to find they don't stock it around here. Not really surprised. The closer you get to San Francisco, the harder it is to find anything useful. I went on their website and could only find Black Ops Molasses liquid that they sell as an deer bait. I couldn't find a list of ingredients for that, but they talk about it being proprietary, which makes me think it isn't straight molasses. Might hit up the local feed store today. Can you post what you find when you get to TS?<<<<<<<< heading to Tractor Supply
These two are available locally. Are they high enough octane to do the job?

I wouldn't bother with those little gallon sizes, it's cheaper in volume. Isn't there any sort of equine or feed store in your state? Look for a pail like this, which would cost me about $30 (CDN) for 5 gallons.These two are available locally. Are they high enough octane to do the job?

Molasses is less corrosive to the good metal compared to vinegar. And while vinegar is indeed cheaper, it's also used straight. When the molasses is diluted with water it works out cheaper after filling a 50 gal. barrel. I hadn't known vinegar to prevent something from rusting again, but molasses certainly will not. After it's dry you'd need to add protection.Does molasses kill the rust and keep it from coming back like vinegar does? Vinegar is a whole lot cheaper and doesn't grow mold like molasses does. What's the advantage of molasses over vinegar?
Well the molasses dip do anything with paint? I see the pedals were rusty and painted in the finished pictures. They're nice metal.
