Electric Rust removal

[fbody_mike]

I use electrolysis often to remove rust from old metal. It works great and msst of us have all that is needed in the garage already. It will even help strip paint and grease. The solution will look horrible after a while, but it keeps working and should be safe to poor down the drain, provided you did not use stainless steel for the anode.



After you take your part out of the bath, rinse it off with some clean water, then give it a shower with some WD-40 to keep the rust away.

When the wife first saw my 30 gallon bucket bubbling up with an orange greasy mess and the wires coming out of it, the first words out of her mouth was "is this gonna blow up the house?" When I stuck my hand in it and said it was way less dangerous than charging her cell phone battery she never batted another eye at it. with a kiddie pool you can even do large parts like subframes.
