Here is my new electrolysis setup; though it might help, some of you make your own. I got about $12.00 in the whole setup. Tub is from Wal-Mart along with the mat, the stainless steal plate was a serving platter from the thrift store for $2.00 cut it to fit. Plate goes under the mat do there is no contact to artifact. Wire for hanging relics is a solid 4 awg left over from my house wiring, you can get it at Lowes for a couple bucks. Battery charger was a hand down you could get them about anywhere; this one has a .3 trickle a 2 amp and up. I will set it up in a few days and show it in operation. Reid

You are an inspiration Reidman. I went to the local recycler and got a piece of 16" X 16" stainless. Went to Walmart and got a tub and sink mat. I already had the copper tube and wire. Cut the stainless down to 12" X 16" and used the cutoff for the strap. Drilled and bolted, cut the holes in the tub, slid the copper pipe through and curled the copper wire around the pipe. Ready to go. Even got some real lemon juice at Walmart. Now I need something to clean.
 

Post some pics!!
