Joe, easy to do and easy to find on the internet under electrolysis, but here is all you need to do... 1 find a plastic (not metal) tub that will hold your part you want to de-rust and de-paint. 2 get two pieces of metal and wire them together so they are on opposite sides of the tub and wire them to the opposite sides of the tub. I used two old horseshoes and just put them on opposite sides of the tub. 3 get you a 12 volt battery charger but dont plug it in yet, hook the + side of the charger to the metal on the two sides, (my horseshoes). 4 hook the - side to the part you want to clean. 5 fill the tub with water to cover the part you want to clean, and add about 1/4 cup of plain salt to the water. 6 put the part in the water so it is not touching the horseshoe metal things on the sides of your tub. 7 plug in the battery charger and watch it for a couple of minutes. you should see little bubbles coming off the battery charger clamp, if not add another 1/8th cup of salt 8 let it sit for about 12-48 hours and you will have soup like I had. 9 Dont touch the metal or water unless you
un-plug it first, keep the whole thing outside in lots of air as it is giving off Hydrogen (remember the Hindenburg) very flamable 10 I usually pull it out and give it a little help with a hand wire brush as all the loose stuff comes right off and I want it to work on the harder stuff. 11 wash all the salt water off very well before painting it. The soup bath just gets dumped on the ground as it is salt, water, rust (metal) and dirt and some old paint... This saves a lot of grinding time if you can get a bath big enough. There is a lot of info on the internet. Let me know how it works for you as it works great for me.
