Intersting Rust Test

[Beau Cassidy]

I came across this and thought it was kinda neat. It looks like CLP and Eezox are pretty good rust inhibitors.

I use Eezox on all my guns, great stuff.

Interesting test. Never heard of Eezox. When looking online some folks were touting Gunzilla. Never heard of
it either. Any comments on Eezox and/or Gunzilla.

I will watch for continuing comments.

I dunno about Gunzilla as a rust preventative, but I finally bought a bottle after months of urging from "friends". Wish I hadn't wasted my money. Doesn't clean powder residue as well as Ed's Red. Doesn't touch copper at all, and copper removal is the only reason I use anything commercial. It says "soap and water cleanup" on the bottle, which doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about it as a preservative for ferrous metals.

Eesox I know nothing about. I still have another full can of RIG to use up, and I know from years of experience that it works, so I probably won't run out and buy anything new.

Was given a test sample can of Corrosion-X at a machine tool trade show years ago. It protected some of my woodworking tools pretty well when they lived in a cold garage.

On external gun surfaces I have long been a fan of linseed oil for long term storage. Yeah, it takes time to remove, but not much. A rag and Ed's Red takes it off metal in a jiffy. Well, a jiffy and a half, maybe.

So do we know if the tester is an employee of Eezeox or anything?

I bought mine over 10 years ago (quart) and still have about half of it left. I've given small samples out to friends and family. I use it on my long term stored guns and heavy used guns. I hunt alot of ducks (when there is water)and use it on my duck guns which can get soaked threw from a rainy hunt.

Its not a cleaner per say its ment to cover the metal to protect it from rust, so don't buy it expecting it to clean powder or copper.

As for the link being part of Eezox no clue the first test I seen was done with 16penny nails in almost the same manor as in the link.

Do any stores carry it or is it an online purchase only?
I would like to give it a try as I live in a salt air environment.

Never seen it any place but online threw them directly, might check around could be other places.

I'll keep using Eezox on my guns. I it works for me.
