The nails in my deck have rusted and spotted the wood. How can I remove the rust spots?
Answer
Scrub the area with a wire brush, then bleach any remaining stain with oxalic acid, which is available in paint stores. You would probably need to restain the wood after this, but wait until the repaired area is thoroughly dry.
