No. I actually did not know that was a thing until I googled how to remove the rust spots around the emblems that the clay can't touch. Now I know

Hydrochloric acid is great at removing rust without touching the iron. Not sure if it's a good idea to use in this case. I did recently use it at one of my hotels to clean off the rust on a panic bar in a pool room that was rusty before painting. Worked great

I put a 30’ 10awg cord on my Lincoln 140 too.

I did 15' cord then bought a 50' 10awg cord.. did some welding last night with the new cords substantially better performance especially with questionable metal
