How much current is optimum????
I have used a 45 gallon drum with a lye solution..... afull perimeter stainless steel plate with a 10 amp battery charger and two 12 volts truck batteries....... batteries went flat in a 2 hours and charger overheated......... it was really bubbling and cleaned a suspended cast CMP axles inside and out in 2 hours...... heavy scumof oil and paint on the surface.
Pressure washed and sun dried it looked like new.
Not sure how many amps were going in or how we could measure based on plate size .........
What is it in molasses that does the derusting...... the potassium content??? and if so would not a weak potassium acid bath be cheaper, faster, less sticky and stinky without being lethal to the environment?????
