LOL. I guess you haven't actually tried wallpaper paste and citric then?

Ketchup is cheap as chips and works well on light corrosion.

I have yes. Used it when cleaning up brass castings.

So does cheep coke.

I think this is beyond Citrus acid de-rusting.
The 1890-1920 GWR paraffin signal lamp is collapsing under it's own weight.

The ivy is now gone. The lamp has sat on the wall since 1995. It used to work, but I think it may leak a bit now.
