I have purchased 2 chucks for $100.00 a 6” 3 jaw & a 8” 4 jaw that looked not that great. I found some evaporust at Princess Auto and took the 3 jaw apart letting it soak for 24 hrs then giving it a scrub with scotchbrite. It’s definitely a night and day solution. Next up will be the 4 jaw.

I did use the toothbrush not that much though the one I bought was the jug and a bucket from Home Depot I’m going to have to pick up a lid though as a afterthought.
 
I didn’t see the large bucket ( with parts container) if I did I would have got that one 13 litres compared to 3 litres. Should be all the same Keith Rucker says you can water it down and to cover it so it doesn’t evaporate.

Dunno, they are all labeled "Super Safe Rust Remover". 1L, 4L, and 13L sizes.

Hi Craig, taking a closer second look at the labels I totally agree with your observation. Unsure as to the why PA lists SKU 8913048 $9.99 as super safe rust remover and not the other two sizes? There are times web pages suck and you need to be a mind reader. LOL

Good score on these chucks - at $50 each they were worth it even for the backplate.

The three jaw is in great condition I can’t really see any wear and is still tight. The jaws are numbered but I couldn’t see any numbering on the chuck body looking at the thread start height on the jaws confirmed their # position/order and seem to meet up properly in the center.
I’ll put up some picks of the 4 jaw when I do it as far as the backing plates alas I have the screw on but will hang on to them for future upgrades.
 
Just to update this is the 8” 4 jaw after a good soak next will be the center support that is in need of some tlc. I’ve no idea what it is off of.

Looks good! The Evapo-Rust is great stuff. I just picked of three Starrett beveled straight edges and they have some surface rust and need a soaking. The problem I have is the one is 36" and I haven't come up with a way of soaking it with out using a large amount of the stuff.

Why not use a short length of old eaves trough with ends bent up to hold the Evapo-Rust?
 
That is a good suggestion and that gave me an idea. I have some 3" PVC pipe left over and if I put a cap on it, that should work. Thanks
