I am reworking a DC Case tractor. I am cleaning the old paint off of parts as the tractor is taken apart. Seems like most of you agree that picklex is the best way to prevent rusting until I paint. What is the best way to apply it?

Use the spray bottle and use a brush to spread it. That way there is little waste and you don't contaminate the remaining solution. You don't need to completely saturate everything, just get it covered. A pint, although expensive, will last a long time. I don't think I have used a gallon in 4 years.

You may want to compare spraying with brushing it on for the simple reason that I thought that I was wasting too much with the spray... (too much overspray and running off of the part).... and at $100/gal!!! They advertise application 1600 sq ft per gallon (i.e. about 10 sq ft per oz + or -) but they are dreaming... I probably got about a fourth of that, and sometimes much less for small parts... Jim

Use a good quality spray bottle if small stuff or you can use a regular air fed spray paint gun too.

I wouldn't run phosphoric acid through a paint gun unless I was ready to throw it away, also the waste would be horrendous. Not to mention getting H3PO4 on everything!
