Restoration of rusty Iron of the USSR. Old Soviet Flatiron.
In this video, I am restoring an old rusty flatiron. Made in the USSR. I bought it at a flea market for $ 3. The condition was not bad in terms of rust. To remove the rust, I used citric acid, and to speed up the dissolving process, I heated the acid. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rust, I had to repeat boiling several times and clean it with a metal brush. after cleaning, I made a handle and a latch to close the iron lid.
