Muriatic acid for heavy rust? I learn something every day. I love this forum!

I would rather use Evaporust instead of muraitic acid;

Yeah, but be careful with that stuff.  Rubber gloves, eye goggles, old clothes, well ventilated area where kids and pets won't get curious.  I've never had that heavy of rust on phones, mostly just moderate amounts that CLR could take care of.

Nice job on the phone!
