Ultimate rust removal method

I think that I just ran into the ultimate way of removing rust without damaging your shiny new manicure, or spilling the cold one, while siting in the recliner watching the rust remove itself.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this method myself, but I'm tempted to shove the Cruiser in the swimming pool, hook it up, and presto: Restored Cruiser

Electrolysis................many references to this on mud. Search "Who shaves their nut sack?"

I searched for rust removal but haven't run across electrolysis. Anyway, I'm glad this works. Now I'll have time to shave my sack while drinking a cold one.
Thanks for the link.

Hey dude, I'm just trying to make the joke. This has been a topic on Mud for a long time. 5 gallon buckets to whole frames. However the link you provided is cool. Sometimes I'm not quite as funny as I think I am Axe m'wife

BTW, another form of "electrolysis" is a method of 'permanent' hair removal. I'm a fan of the blade, 'cause you never know what the next one will like.

It's all cool Ed. No hard feelings here. That is the first time I've seen that method and got pretty exited, and although I was expecting that some people here have seen it, looks like the whole MUD is in on it, except me. Noob!

yup. learned about it from coolerman's thread/website - I used a computer powersupply for my set-up - worked pretty damn well but the steel (not your part) that you use needs to be cleaned/replaced when it gets used for a bit - also if you can get soda ash from a pool store it works better..

This is great. I'll be experimenting with higher amperes and bigger or more electrodes, for faster results. Hopefully I don't blow myself up.

The video just said steel. I thought it was supposed to be stainless steel??

Edit:
From Coolerman's site.

DISCLAIMER #2: If you use stainless steel as your cathode when setting up a tank you are creating another hazard that you may not be aware of: Hexavalent Chromium ... What is this? Read about it here

For your safety and others use normal steel for your cathode. This allows you to just dump the water on the ground or down the drain assuming there are no other contaminants in the water like paint or solvents off the parts.

that s*** work great! However if you have alot of time on your hands you can do the old molasses trick as well - takes alot longer but leaves you with a sandblasted look and all you need is water and molasses.

Thanks I'll look into it. I've tried some other rust removers before, like naval jelly and others, but they were pretty worthless. Water and molasses sounds pretty energy efficient, unless I'd have to keep steering at it. As you can see I'm lazy and picky.
