ocbinva Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I use electrolysis for rust removal allot. I have seen a guy do an entire truck frame. My dad wanted to see how I do it so I made a video last week of a smaller setup. Thought someone could find it useful. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=hOcmvzYZh64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave92cherokee Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 No problem electrolysis is a very good method for removing/converting rust. I wonder how well it would do for a deep cleaning of a part too or if it would even do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocbinva Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have heard of some guys having luck with deep cleaning since the electricity sometimes will release the gunk from the metal. I have also heard of guys using lye mixed in or soaking their parts in farm grade vinegar? Both are caustic so I have never tried them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Good video. I'd done quite a bit of it recently on my two old CJ3As. Depending on how much juice you pump through the solution it will take just about everything off, paint, gunk, rust, everything except the metal. Vinegar will work also but much slower, I keep a gallon of it and toss small parts, bolts etc in it. Diluted Molasses also does the job, I believe it forms a phosphate, the common ingredient in off the shelf rust removal products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocbinva Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 There is an australia guy with some you tube videos restoring classic cars and he goes into the mollassas process. Takes a while but will remove all rust inside of doors and frames where you cannot get. Very cool stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
