I thank various gods every day for only having about 20% of my job be end user stuff, rest is project work. End users seem to think the ratio is the other way around, though...

That's what I thought as well, but after a brief clarification from EU, they meant they can work normally, but is worried about the scary message.

So which one of these pretty standard ingredients is the secret ingredient?

I agree on the sourcream & onion, taffel's furious is delicious, but Oikia Musta Melody Black Garlic is absolutely without competition for top spot.

Taffel (FIN), Estrella (SWE) & Oikia (FIN) as well!

I did in the end end up painting it a nice blue colour with a rust protect metallic paint. First layer looked awful, second layer looked quite nice already, but I'm gonna add a third one today. The paint can recommended 3 layers for proper rust proof, so that's what I'm going by.

Why would you remind me of this on a Monday morning. Haven't I suffered enough :(

In all seriousness, great episode, definitely still makes me sad every time even when I know it's coming. Unpopular opinion, I think Futurama was on par with the best Simpsons seasons, and way better than most Simpsons seasons.

I am sincerely apologetic of posting content that you found not to be dull enough. I will try to be better in the future. Tool restoration indeed is interesting, but I thought merely soaking a tool in deruster for days would be dull enough :(

I will keep this advice in mind the next time I need to derust something. Thank you very much. Bought a house from the 80's from a family of the previous owner, and they left a whole bunch of potentially good tools and other stuff in there.

A badly maintained, clogged, greasy electric chainsaw is on my list of things to open up, clean and lube up as well. Looking forward to that. As a mainly electronics guy, I only very recently started doing simple mechanical repairs. Opened up a fan that had a hard time turning, found out there were no bearings, just a rod acting as the iron core inside a DC motor. Disassembled, applied generous amounts of acetone to relevant parts, dried it up and greased it up. Worked like a charm afterwards, and didn't even lose any screws.

After some research, apparently my local auto store does sell a store brand rust removal gel. As a bonus, in my local language it's apparently called "Rust eater".

Hmm, looks like it's the US spelling for a gripping tool, whereas UK uses vice for both a personal failing or a bad habit, and a gripping tool. I'm most familiar with US spelling since I learned most of my English from video games and TV shows as wee lad.

I checked the biggest retailers in my neck of the woods, doesn't look like any of them sell it.
