I just look at a G restoration project in the tractor photo section where he used electrolysis to remove the paint. It looks easier than the sand blast or paint stripper method, but I'm not sure exactly what is involved. Anyone have any experience with it?

WOW what a great artical! Thanks much I will have to try that some time. You can stop at your local Wawa, 7/11, Clover or other quick stop type of store and grab one of the tubs they get orders in. THey will have a neat set of fold together lids. Keep stuff out of your tub or in.

I put some B sheet metal parts in my electrolysis bath and it loosens the original paint pretty well. Takes a little time, but I think it breaks the paint bond along with the rust so you end up with a clean part. Almost all of the paint could be pushed off in sheets after three days. It won't touch paint in some situations though. I'm using a 24 volt charger.

Electrolysis is a line of sight process so it works best on those areas of your part-to-be-cleaned closest to the sacrificial anode and in direct "view" of it. This means that it does not work very well in nooks and crannies. For hollow parts you best put the anode inside the part.
IMHO, Hendrik
