Jeff I figured your reply deserved a separate response. First off I was not aware that the electrolyses would take paint off also. That is my major concern with most of my truck and this latest endeavor as there is very little rust, I just want to get the paint off and start with fresh metal.
I was looking at poly livestock watering troughs when I was in F&F the other day and there are some very large tanks available for under $100. They are almost large enough to submerge a fender or door in if the process works.
One of the many things that has concerned me about using electrolyses for rust removal is something called current density. The larger the volume of electrolyte the larger the current supply needs to be. So far I have heard about a hundered, or more, different versions or opinions of how this is applied to rust removal and they all vary according to what to make the electrolyte out of and what to use for electrodes and what to use for power supplies. The whole subject at this time seems way to fragmented for me to take seriously.
