What kind of fluids can I use to remove rust from metal objects in my bathroom? And what kind of scrubbing pad should I use without scratching the metal objects?

Thanks!
Wayne

I also have heard good stuff about bar keepers friend. You can also try products like CLR. I mention this because i have not seen bar keepers friend in my store.
Additonally i think the type of scrubbing pad you use will depend on the surface you are cleaning. I would worry that any brillo or metal pad would leave scratches. A good rust remover should not need too much scrubbing aid.

I have a leak on the inlet to my toilet cistern. I have bought a replacement metal coupling which I connected ok to the mains plastic pipe, but when I connect to the plastic threaded pipe attached to the inlet valve it leaks. What should I usse to prevent the leakage?

PTFE Tape. Like this:

Wrap it around the thread and then screw it in. Try to get it going the right way (with the thread) so that when you screw it on the tape does not unwind.

Ok, a few minutes ago i asked how to bend back the plastic on the truck, now i realized that the reason my tire is grinding against the plastic part is because in the accident is because the metal in the lower front of the truck from its middle or line of symmetry is bent back towards the right. As you may know i cannot heat this type of metal or after it cools down it will become weak and brittle. Is their any way (besides a repair shop) to bend that metal back to it’s original position without damaging or weakening the metal, or destroying the plastic around the metal?

If it got smashed the structural integrity is already somewhat compromised so who cares if you heat it. If it is part of a main support (frame, suspension,steering parts) or what some call super structure I would say you are right if it is simply body support heat it. Other than that a chain and a big tree or a really big bar. Good luck.

Well metal is forever..

Studying bio materials and I need to know the answer to the above answer. Somehow I don’t think the answer is ceramics have metal components, but if that’s the answer then I guess I read to deep into the question.

Most metal surfaces are protected by an oxide film. Essentially these are layers a few atoms thick of ceramics on the surface of the metal.

Two good examples of this are Aluminum and Chromium in stainless steel alloys.

A skit that went great until someone made it all awesome.

We did a lab in science and i need to find out what solutions where acidic, and which were basic (Alkaline) we put pieces of magnesium metal into each Solution, one of them fizzled and bubbled, one sank, and one floated.

active metals react with acids to produce hydrogen gas.
magnesium is an active metal
hydrogen gas makes the magnesium float
it does not react with the base

I have 2 piercings on each of my ears. I’ve never gotten infections, but I do get lumps in my ears. I want to get my nose pierced but I was wondering what type of metal I should used to get them pierced? Any suggestions?

sterling silver. Those lumps in your ears are keloids, or scar tissue. Everyone gets them, you shouldn’t worry about them
