Hey Folks. A few people may be interested in my neighbor's electrolysis set up. I took a few pictures of how he managed to clean up that nasty orange iron cannonball. He uses a pretty hefty Muck Tub for big jobs as he likes to collect cast iron cookware. Dutch ovens are pretty hefty. He used the manual battery charger at 12 volts-2 amps setting while cradling the ball in a wire harness he designed to suspend the ball in the water. Pretty slick idea. He uses Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda as opposed to baking soda. He says it acts as a better conductor of current. He placed the negative contact on the steel eyebolt holding the iron ball. He placed the positive on a piece of rebar and ran a wire lead around to the opposite side of the Muck Tub to another metal thingy thus drawing the crud in two directions I guess and increasing the efficiency of the setup. Nothing too fancy really. I know I will be buying the materials to get me one set up pretty shortly. I have years of iron finds that need to take a long awaited bath. Hope this might help those who have been considering a setup and not ever getting around to building one, like ME! Adios.
