Alright. There are a lot of products on the market that promise to remove rust and prevent it from coming back. From reading the threads it seems the opinions on this forum are as varied as the products themselves. This thread is about making a convincing argument... or a ludicrous allegation, which ever you find appropriate. Horror stories are welcome but please limit yourselves to the chemical rust abatement theme already established. For you slow starters, here is your motivation.

On the first try, I rusted a positive electrode steel strip through in about 6 hours. Stainless holds up much better. Being an Engineer, I saved stainess rods and tubes that were being thrown away. Have a 5 gallon plastic bucket, a plastic under the bed tray, and a cheap plastic kiddy wading pool for tanks. I use lye as a conductor, as it helps eat the paint. The teener parts can spend a lot more time in the tank due to the zinc based paint they used.
The darned druggies caused a ban on lye, but some soap sites still sell it. Theoretically, baking soda will work as a conductor. Finally found a box of "washing powder" and will try it next. Ken |

Ken You know when you run a current through stainless it off gases chromium. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) That's one toxic kiddy pool you've got. Baking soda works great as a conductor and its extremely cheap. That's what I use. I've been using rebar welded into a grid for my cathode and haven't seen any significant problems losing material. The surface gets rusty but is cleanable. I also run it on a small battery charger so the amperage is low. |
