REVERSING RUST BY ELECTROLYSIS

[VWPANZER1]

 Tonight's meeting will feature a tech session on how to remove rust -not by grinding, sand blasting, paint conversions or acid treatments - but a cleaner, less aggressive method call  REVERSE ELECTROLYSIS.

Anyone can do this!

There will be handouts and a demo on acquiring the simple inexpensive equipment necessary.

Don?t miss it!

Sorry I'm missing it   :(         Too far on the kids school night when I'm the one in charge of homework & studying for a big test getting done.

  Yea the technique is good for a lot of things.

My set up - I use a tub

I found the cheaper the battery charger the better it works! - sometimes you need a battery in line to get it working, sometimes just the charger is good enough - this is charger dependent.

  I can forgo the light, but again depends on the charger..

  One done, one yet to do.........


               


  SORRY I could not make the meeting, hope it goes well!

That is SO cool!    With my luck though I'd electrocute myself...   #@rofl3

Matt, is that three positive leads attached to the bottom plate? Also what is the vertical plate for or is it attached to the bottom plate?

Matt:

  I found that if the just using the charger don't work, it's becuase the donating anion is too rusty or corroded.

   Hi Howard!



   Yes 3 positive leads to the bottom plate; the bottom plate was also wired to the side plate, for more surface area.

The metal plate goes on first, then the plastic grid, then a fine household screen mesh ( was not shown) on top of the plastic plate - as I found parts of the  metal to be derusted could come in contact with the metal plate  - so the screen helps with isolation.

It can take a while especially for big pieces, but well worth the wait while you go and do something constructive - like napping or something  thumpup)-

what is great about this is you can de-rust the insides of things.  I beleive the deposit on the metal after electrolysis acts as a rust preventative in of itself.  This has to be removed to make the parts shiny



Thanks Joe, I will keep that in mind  .... so you have to do some manual derusting to get the worse off?

   Well,   only if you did not take off all the bling!            #@rofl3

At the moment I don't have anything rusty. I will pass this onto  my son and friends. :jump4jo": thi
