Restoration Tip: Electrolysis Derusting

[Mike K]

For those of you who've been using the battery charger and caustic soda method of removing rust . I've been experimenting and have found a better solution that caustic soda . The local 'Warehouse' store ( chain store here in OZ, mainly in qld, nsw and vic. ) sells stuff called 'SUPREME Laundry active soaker' . It's $3 for a 1kg tub .

Start off with hot water .. it seems to aid the process a lot . The Laundry soaker is far less hazardous than caustic soda is , and is about 1/3rd of the price and it works better ! It comes in slightly different forms , I use the variant with a orange lid . ( It's made in Melbourne too )

Once you've finished derusting ,you can soak the bedsheets in it too !!!!!
