    Great! Thanks for de-mystifying the process! I look forward to trying it on some motorcycle parts.

    A wire wheel on a 4" grinder seems like it would be faster and just as effective. Maybe not so much on intricate parts, but on that bracket maybe.

    Thanks for the tip. It looks like a promising product, and it would probably work well.

    That's actually what happens to the sacrificial anode!

    Good ventilation is a must.  Remember that hydrogen gas is explosive if the concentration in the air gets high enough.

    Thanks for the video!! Thank you especially for mentioning the solution might explode because I smoke. I have many rusty things both big and small so intend to use your method. I have a bunch of old tools that got rusty after a Missouri Tiver flood and I dont have the time and patience to to sand all of them. This looks to be a good project to do in the winter when I don't have anything else to do.

    Would it help to run a fan on this to vent the gas away? Great video.

    If you reversed the polarity could you rust plate something?
