ummm...
Part of me says cool i'm gonna do it, the other part of me is screaming 'woot woot woot' not safe, not safe. A really easy, and much safer, way would be to use a sand blaster.

never knew i could use that powder stuff i will try it,prolly works the same.

and yea dude it is safe,grinding takes away metal and so does sandblasting media. removing rust my way gets all rust no good metal.

I did the same thing with washing soda. Its electrolysis. You can take baking soda and bake it on a cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 300 degrees. That breaks it down from sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate. All it does is "cook" off one water molecule and one CO2 molecule from each sodium bicarbonate molecule.

you add the washing soda, sodium carbonate to water in a fairly low quantity, and hook up a battery charger. I forget the polarity.

I used it when i bought a rusty tool box filled with rusty tools. It salvaged a ton of Craftsman, MAC, Snap-On, and SK tools. I then took them to my bench grinder where i had a buffing wheel set up and made them shine again.

It is absolutely the best way to remove rust. It is completely nondestructive.

it's probably a cool way to remove rust from your auto parts... but you have to drunk out of your mind to try it.

rngrdngr · Apr 22, 2008

u don't have to be drunk, i have been doing this for a couple of months on my amc suspension.not dangerous,and some parts u just don't want sand media around, like old all steel power steering pumps or brake wheel cylinders,shit i did my engine block in and old bath tub worked great ,now unless u want to go get some huge as blasting cabinet or make a mess using a siphoned feed blast container electrolosis works great.

why does everybody think its so dangerous? its not gonna blow the garage up....

mhughes165 · Apr 22, 2008

ya, there aint nothing wrong with this, ive actually used this complete engines before, as long as its going to be rebuilt anyways this is great to strip everything down to the bare metal(rusted bolts etc)

They even did/showed this on the power block. I remember see'ing this on trucks. Only downside was he said it takes like 2 days for it to come out clean. Definatly worth it if it works.

This seems safe, and reuseable too!!!

metalmacguyver · Apr 22, 2008

It is very reuseable. The water and the electrode are consumed but at a very slow rate.

The fun part is lighting the hydrogen bubbles that form on the surface of the water...... :icon_twisted:

You can do the same thing with molasses mixed 10:1 in water. Get it from a feed store. When your done just dump it down the drain.
