I had no free buckets to hold the derusting solution in that the vise would fit comfortably, so I had to use a plastic box that was too wide. It would not submerge fully in the 1 Liter of derusting solution I bought, I had to soak one side for 24 hours and then the other side for 24 hours. It mostly cleared the rust. I’m considering painting it now, but I don’t think I’m going to.
I suspect we can thank Daniel Webster for trying to simplify spellings. I’m still not sure how I feel about it - I find some words make better sense spelled in the British way, like “behaviour”, but I also appreciate the vice homonym spellings.
At least the vice / vise spellings make sense etymologically - they have separate Latin origins (see links). I can’t explain why British English doesn’t make this distinction, especially since they were different in Old French and Anglo-French.
