A ton of viewers had questions about my “Vinegar vs. rust for 19 months” video, where I left a pile of rusty tools to soak in vinegar for more than a year and a half.

Some of them were easy to answer. Did the prolonged vinegar soak affect the tools’ strength? Why did I spray them with clear coat after the fact?

Other questions were tougher. Why hadn’t the vinegar evaporated in all that time? Which rust removal methods work the best?

Find answers to those questions and more in the video above. Or, if you missed the original video, watch it below.
