bone shears rusting!!!

MattG · 02/03/2006, 01:57 PM

i have had a pair of bone shears for fragging that i bought from www.diyreef.com. Well they have rusted and really cant even be opened/closed.

Is there anything i can do to get rid of the rust? I want to still be able to frag stuff while in the tank so whatever i do needs to later be safe for in the tank use

thanks for any help

Spray it with PAM, vegetable oil or glycerin.
Then work them out.
