I'm having luck with electrolysis but after soaking, this is what I do....not sure if it's a good plan.
1) soak in electrolysis bath until I feel all sides have been hit for a few hours with a line of site from the electrode path
2) Remove from bath and rinse to get the lye/water mix off the metal
3) scrub with a 3m scotch brite pad. This is the black stuff on clean metal.
4) if clean enough then I spray with metal prep
5) rinse metal prep off in about 20 mins
6) let dry
7) wipe off white powder when ready to prime
Does that sound right? I'm not sure if I'm using metal prep correctly. Also, not sure what to do if part is too big for bucket and need to flip over. Do I metal prep the half that is done as it will flash rust.
Let me know if anything could be improved on....thanks, moday
