If you're going to paint it, all you can do is sand or grind the rust away.
Make sure to clean it before painting with some sort of de-greaser like mineral spirits or equivalent. Use this after the rust is removed. ----- Original Message ----- From: frank cunningham To: blind handyman Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:46 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Removing rust Howdy all, I was looking at the bottom of my 2 wheel hand cart today and see it is rather rusted. How can I remove this rust before I get it repainted... Any suggestions... Frank [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
