Doing some Spring cleanup around the yard today and found my spool of wire right where I left it last year. Any way I can clean it up or is it toast?
Cold as ice!

Drive to the local hardware store, borrow a crowbar, use it to pry open your wallet and buy a new spool of wire.

If its pitted toss it.If its just surface rust,drop it in with your traps and snares when you dye them next fall. Throw it in the wax pot also with your traps and snares after dying so it dont happen again.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Ok I’ll just pressure wash the whole thing then pour some canola oil on it and call it a day.
I use it for tying off body grip traps and snare support wire.

Looks good to me. I'll take rust on my hands over grease any day.

Soak in vinegar will clean it up. I’d skip the canola oil. It will eventually be a sticky, stinky mess. Good to know! Thanks!

Looks like surface rust to me, do what some others said and drop it in the dye container.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
