I sprayed some tools with wd-40 since they were rusted. After reading some posts here, it appears that vinegar is pretty good with rusty tools. Is it ok to put the tools that were sprayed with WD-40 into vinegar+salt in a plastic container? Or am i going to get a harmful chemical reaction?
Thanks.
If you toss in some garlic powder, you'll get something fairly close to a basic Italian salad dressing. HTH.

ummm..take a piece of trawl netting large enough to hold your tools. Hang made up toolbag over the side of slowly moving vessel (2-4knots) at sea. About .5 of an hour frees up most 'seized' tools and softens the corrosion on all. Treat with fresh water and scale remover afterwards - immediately.
