Troubleshooting

Residue is difficult to remove

Soak the tool briefly in water before brushing, or use a mild abrasive cleaner specifically designed for steel tools. Always dry thoroughly afterwards.

Clean the rusted areas with a steel wool pad or fine-grit sandpaper. Wash and dry the tool completely, then apply a light coat of tool oil for protection.
