I must just point out, with electrolysis be careful with hydrogen formation, make sure the room is well ventilated.
And never use it for high strength steel or load bearing stuff you risk introducing hydrogen in the material, this leads to hydrogen embrittlement => almost spontaneous failure/cracks.
To reverse this parts have to baked at 200 C for quite some time to drive out the hydrogen.
In molasses it is possibly phosphoric / citric acid that is the active ingredient.
