...I've used this Evapo Rust on a few relatively heavily rusted frame projects. It says so somewhere in the literature, but I'll reinforce it. The temperature at which you have the frame and liquid has a marked effect on how quickly it works. Fo me, a couple of days hanging outside in the direct sun with ambient air temps in the 90's (Fahrenheit) takes a couple of days. The first frame I did was earlier in the year, and I finally had to bring it indoors to a heated room. Otherwise, it looked like it was going to take forever.
