I use crushed stone for rust removal, gravel will work but it takes longer. fine crushed stone has sharp edges and will cut the rust much better and takes less time. 2-3 gallons and a slow tumbler and the job is done. I have 4 foot stand with a 21 inch antique spoke car wheel mounted on top with a hand crank on the backside of the wheel. add the crushed stone, strap the tank to the wheel, get someone to turn the crank while you drink coffee or whatever and the job is done. we built this stand with scrap back in 69 or 70. it didn't take long to build as we were not trying to impress anyone and it still works great today. also the wheel will tilt back and forth so you don't miss any rust. we also used the stand to paint antique spoke wheels for a run free paint job.
