Re: cleaning and preparing tubes for rebuild.

I need to alter my recommendation! Although electrolysis is 'good', using evaporust is better with long tubes. Evaporust reacts with rust by a chelation process that leaves the base metal(steel/iron) unaffected. A piece of pvc sewer pipe(2") with one end plugged and a smaller pipe plugged at bo...
