Hi to all,

I decided to attempt to restore the blade of an older (and unidentified) Disston saw that I've had kicking around for quite a few years now. The saw has a goodly amount of rust on it, and I anticipate that some serious elbow grease will be needed in order to clean it up. In reading about how to go about doing this, most restorations use mineral spirits for a cutting agent while sanding. As I don't have a proper respirator (as recommended for safety) I was wondering if using Evaporust would accomplish the same thing? I'm "experimenting" on this saw as I have a Disston D-8 a D-7 and a D-23 set aside as user saws once I've experimented on this saw...any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Rob
