Yesterday, I rigged up a tub for rust removal with electrolysis. Made the anode from some flat steel stock I had lying around. The tub is a left over from a cattle protein feed. My battery charger completes the set-up. The hardest part was driving all over town, wasting much expensive gasoline, trying to find the Arm and Hammer washing soda. When I did find it, I'll betcha the box has been setting on the shelf for a decade, almost solid. Enneyhow, for those who have done this, how much of the soda should I use? There is probably 20 gallons of water in the tub and I tossed in about two cups of the soda. What voltage setting should I use on the charger? My choices are 2, 10 and 50. I put in a large, antique, square jawed adjustable wrench for a test at 10V and it started bubbling right away. Photo later.
