[TheForge] electrolitic rust removal

Wed Mar 5 23:53:00 2003

Good Gracious, don't use Drano or lye......
You are not trying to create an acid, you are trying to
release the oxygen from the rust.
Baking Soda works great. see this:
http://lametalsmiths.org/news/page9.htm        and
http://magichammer.freeservers.com/samuel_yellin__window_panels.htm
will tell you more about how to create or remove rust than you may care to
know.
