[SEL] rust help

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Tom,
Use some detergent and water to remove the oil you  just put on them.  
Then, dilute a pint or quart of molasses with water, one  or two parts water to 
molasses and put that in the bucket covering them.   Cover with Saran wrap 
to reduce evaporation.  Find a spot in one of your  sheds where you won't 
kick the bucket over and leave it until Fall.  At  that time, rinse, wipe dry 
and oil.  I think you'll have what you  want.

Yesterday at the flea market, I purchased a bucket full of sockets  1/4.  
3/8, 1/2 drive, Craftsman and SK, for the grand price of  $10.  Well  over 
150 
sockets and one 30mm Craftsman socket is  worth the $10. We had  rain for 
the 
past week, and the bucket must  have sat outside, so they are  covered with 
surface rust.  This  comes off easily with a wire wheel, but  how to remove 
from inside  the sockets?  Right now, after wire brushing the  outsides, I 
am  
dropping them in a bucket of oil.  If I had a large tumbler,  I  would try 
corn cobs.  Any ideas out there?

Happy Mother's day  to all the mothers out there!

Thanks
