By the way, I removed the wooden knob before soaking. Otherwise, I think I just chucked the tool in a bucket of Evapo-goo. No scrubbing or prep. Of course, every case is different. There was enough rust that I had to repeat the “don’t shear off…don’t shear off” mantra on several parts of the plane during rehab, especially the blade tensioners and the flip-around fence, as things were worked free.
