Ok, so I followed the posts from the others and made my electrolysis bucket from stuff laying around the garage: old plastic bucket, chunk of flat stock for the anode, chunk of round stock for the cathode hangar. Worked pretty good. Took it a step further and made the anode 360 degrees and dropped the rusty part down in the middle. Worked even better. Some say sodium carbonate, not sodium bicarbonate. Why? Anybody tried PH up from the local pool supply? Looks like the same thing. Might be easier to find for some folks. Anybody used lye?

I use sodium carbonate (wash soda) that I bought online. It is much more reactive than Sodium Bicarbonate and not as caustic as lye.

Granted I use lye gravy for removing paint, but I just don't want to leave lye solution open to the world for months at a time. The wash soda is much gentler on the hands and I don't have to use rubber gloves when I rinse everything off.

I use crystal drano and mix it in solution until it reaches 10 amps.

I use lye and I actually prefer it over sodium carbonate. It seems, at least in my opinion to take off paint better. It also eats the hair off nosy chipmunks, but that is another story.
