Default RE: electrolysis

you use a water and washing soda solution and place your part in a bucket in this solution. there is also supposed to be another piece of steel in the bucket (not touching) hook up a battery charger to the part that you want to cleaned and the positive to the piece of metal, i ran mine on 50 amps for about 6 hours and 10 for about 20 hours, it didn't do so much because i had some severe rusting on the part, but i am trying it out with some different parts now
