Derusting Step Headers Via Electrolysis

[RichardAlejandroAlva.e10]

Just started the bath, about 12 gallons of solution. Used 12 table spoons of baking soda to 12 gallons of water. 6amp battery charger at 6 amp 100 volt current. the Anode seems to be bubbling the rusted header itself is bubbling slightly.... any ideas? negative charge is making contact...

my anode is a large piece of rebar... would opt for stainless but did not have it readily available

pictures will be up in a few hours once i have let it sit for a while

thanks again Fifty!

I'll be anxious to see your results. Here's a site that has a lot of info on the process: http://www.rickswoodshopcreations.com/Miscellaneous/Rust_Removal.htm

Very interesting indeed...you may want to send this over to general discussion or even project blogs, instead of want to buy, though, as I'm sure a lot of others would have interest...Dave V. in NC
