Experiments with Rust

This weekend, I discovered the joys of electric rust removal.

I used a glass baking dish, a battery charger, some plain tap water, washing soda, and an old bit of steel.

The results were really quite amazing.

The rust just disappeared in a flurry of bubbles.

A little bit of brushing and light sanding brought it up all nice and shiny.

A lot easier than rust converter.

$3.85 for 1kg of soda. I probably used 1/50th of it, roughly 7cents.
