What's electrolysis?
#1
Was just looking on eBay and came across this bike that had been restored [broken_link] He says that electrolysis was used to remove rust! How’s this done and is it effective, anyone have any info on the process and is it possible to do at home?
cheers.

I already seen this used before and it looks like it works. Just be cautious when using this and make sure you read up on the safety stuff. Looking out for you as I would anyone. Wink

My wife has a thing that looks like that and she says it keeps her legs looking nice.

Used to use something like that in the hospital for depression and various other mental issues. Now have a lot of people in Northern Ireland with nervous ticks and can't go outside during thunder storms.

I think it's probably the weather in Northern Ireland. Smile
I like to lick 9 Volt batteries. Keeps me semi-sane.
