SOAP FOR REMOVING RUST.--
Parts by Weight.
Whiting 9
Oil soap 6
Cyanide of potassium 5
Water 60
Dissolve the soap in water over the fire and add the cyanide, then
little by little the whiting. If the compound is too thick, which may
be due either to the whiting or the soap employed, add a little water
until a paste is made which can be run into an iron or wooden mould.
This will remove rust from steel and give it a good polish.--Oils,
