Dr.Hook Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Just got back from a 2 week trip and gear was stored with the ropes (wet) during this time. My ice screws are rusted up, primarily around the hangers. I realize this could probably be avoided by "taking better care of my gear" however to late now. Should I worry about this, can the rust be safely removed, I borrowed a bunch of the ice screws... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 just spray em with wd40 and wipe em down with a cloth and the rust should come right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work (it should) - a very light touch with light weight steel wool will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Drop them from threee feet and then tell the owner that they had microfractures, then send them to me.... OK I'm kidding....Dru and CJ are correct. WD 40 or some other lubicant will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
