I enjoy your emails. You have told this old DIYer a few tricks I did not know.

I do take issue with your last statement on removing rust with a rotary wire brush. Surely you have heard of Evaporust?

It's essential for de-rusting parts without damaging anything, or changing the surface finish.

RE: IKEA crappy furniture

You might try rubbing any frictive surface, the sides and bottoms of the drawers, with paraffin wax. Really cover it thoroughly. It works wonders for drawers.
