Rust Removal - Electrolysis vs. Vinegar #309 Pt 1 tubalcain

so mote it be
nice use of tools ~

this is the future. carbon fiber brush electrolytic cleaning.. great for stainless but it needs to be perfected for mill scale on mild steel

Muriatic acid works faster ,needs to be flushed with baking soda when removed from acid ..will flash rush if not painted or coated wit anti rust ..

Lead plate for anodes do not gunge up

Could not find washing soda used laundry powder works just fine think the soap removes any oil

Using a lower voltage you can control it better. I have done this several times. I use an electroplating machine. It's used by jewellers for Gold and Silver plating. The unit has a small cardiac inside, along with volt mad amp meters. You can dial in jyst the right voltage. Too low and nothing happens. Too high and you might start losing metal before you realize it. And you do want to use lots of anode so the process is done evenly over the work.

I did this but used 4 - 6 volt agm batteries in series with 4 anodes daisy chained together . I can put 8 rusted tools in at a time and in less than 8 hours the rust is completely removed. Your not throwing enough volts with that little charger. NOTE: I am cleaning over 200 tools that were in a fire .....

Great Video Mr pete, Love your humor towards your wife's shoes.
I'm from Australia,& I swear your voice reminds me of Jimmy Stewart🤔

Your A Great Commentator!

why is less amps better than 10 amps?

Too much talk, no action

I just boil parts in vinegar. All it takes is few hours

How many volts is that charger outputting with no battery hooked up? I bet 6.

I got my setup with a charger but for some reason when I get everything set up the amperage shows 0.
I tried the charger on a battery and the amperage gauge will work.
When I hook it up to the sacrificial piece of metal and to my rim the amperage dose t move. Stays at 0

I’m trying to set up a plastic 55 barrel that I cut to only have the bottom section that is about 16 inches high.
I got a car rim in it soaking in vinegar.
I want to do electrolysis but was wondering if I can just put the negative connection on the rim that is sticking out of the vinegar solution as the top part is sticking out by 1 inch and the positive in the vinegar so the rim ?

Also not sure on amperage I would need ?

Using the food grade vinegar is the issue. You need the cleaning or 10% vinegar. That does indeed work.

Lmao. "I hid those in the garbage". Too funny. Really enjoyed this video.

This guy is hilarious, i love it. He said i hid those in the garbage hahaha

Wftk! You need "cleaning" high concentrate vinegar not the type you put in your salad dumass! And where is the end result?...oh yes, your shit video failed...didnit!

Roll on one.

Vinegar works great but is very slow. 24h with a few cleans. I use it for cleaning car radiators , and works perfectly. Flush it and make 2 cleans

I do this all the time
I always use baking soda cheap easy to find

You could’ve killed a cockroach in a corner made me laugh out loud.

Can you do electrolysis and vinegar at the same time?

A combination of HCl (hardware store) and H2SO4 (battery acid strength) both diluted 50% in H2O works wonders without all this paraphernalia and gook. In 1-3 days, as clean as a whistle.

Vinegar, acetic as you call it, is ethanoic acid, it works great in 3 weeks, as its a weak acid it works on rust more than base metal.

She's looking for those shoes to wear down to the store.

I simply use vinegar and a 24 hr soak . Afterwards a brisk scrubbing with a steel wire brush will clean the part up just fine .

Love where you hid your wife's shoes.

I don't fool around, I use muraitic acid to remove rust!

You will not find a way to remove "just the rust" anything that will remove rust will also remove clean metal.

“The toes were so pointed you could’ve killed a cockroach in a corner” 😂 one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard!

LOL! I have rheumatoid arthritis and even the damn tea containers, plastic soda pop bottles and plastic orange juice bottles seem to be put on with jack hammers just to tick me off when I can't open the damn things without finding a pair of vise grips. ;-)

cleaning vinegar or table vinegar

you made me laugh so hard about the pointed shoes killing a roach in a corner. lol to funny

Will electrolysis work on limescale

I have tried the Vinegar treatment many many times and I am unimpressed with the results and it takes forever to do it's thing. also you have the awful black coating on the tools that is a real pain to get it all removed especially in cracks and crevices. Electrolysis is the way to go and you will be happy with the results it gives. Way more fun too~! 😆😄😁👍

Love it! Yeah we kinda get annoyed after awhile !

"I hid those in the garbage" Made my day even better than it was. Genuinely laffed out loud.

I have a 30 amp 12 volt power supply, I figured that's going to be too much amperage so that won't work. I'm removing rust off motorcycle parts and need a trickle charger for the bike anyway will my trickle charger work for this?

Does the work piece have to be suspended?

battery charger current is based upon the impedance of a wet cell battery with sulphuric acid and lead plates

Try Using the vinigar via electrolysis removes much faster ,you can chrome plate with it as well , good video sir by the way

I like seeing how well these old couples get along in a marriage. I wish them many more years

Kill a cockroach in a corner 🤣

I was given an old rifle that must have been stored under a barn. Dirty and covered with surface rust. I reviewed your many electrolysis videos and gave it a shot. Worked great! Took off all the surface rust and cleaned out most of the pitted parts without damaging what was left of the bluing. Thanks for all of your video lessons and teaching me something new and useful!

I think apple cider vinegar works a little better.

There won't be any hydrogen gas until AFTER you plug it in.

Hope for you that your wife is not an accountant:)
