Watched your video yesterday morning. I had a paint can of old rusty screws that got wet. They were one solid mass of rust! Followed your step by step video and took them out this morning. Cleaned them off with a brass brush and gave them a light oiling so the rust doesn't come back! Perfect! Many thanks!
Great video. When you showed ur 100 year old saw, remained me that I have my Grand grandfather's hammer. It is very special to me. It has had 3 new handles and two new heads, over the years. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Washing soda is preferred. To use baking soda, you should spread it on a pad and bake it to break it down (into washing soda.) Baking soda can work but I think you'll get somewhat better results with washing soda. Another note - never use stainless steel as your sacrificial piece - it creates a caustic substance (but it will work.)
Two weeks ago I cleaned an axe head, put a new handle on yesterday. Got a rusty farrier rasp cooking right now. This rasp is in really bad shape and was getting thrown away ( wherever away is ). A new one costs 38 bucks, but except for being rusty, the teeth are like new. Looking forward to having a good wood carving rasp that was on its way to the dump.
hey random, can u show me how it will work on nuts and bolts? I work on bikes and the nuts and brake sleeves are always the first to rust, can it also be done on the wheels when the spokes get rusty and what will happen if there is a bit of stainless mixed in? thanks
OK, anodes shouldn't be made of stainless steelI, but what about the part? I have stainless steel piece a bit covered with rust on some spots. Will it work on it?
Very clearly and simply explained thank you.......I tried it today and was delighted with the results. The parts I was cleaning were smaller, so I tried using a 12 volt charger and it worked fine.
Great video. I appreciate the level of detail you go into. Using Washing Soda instead of Baking Soda aids in process. Not sure if this helps but here is a mix that's worked incredibly well for me. 1 table spoon WASHING soda per gallon And 3 cups of white vinegar per gallon water 45mL washing Soda + 710mL white vinegar per 3.78L Hope I got the unit conversion right haha
So I used a pretty similar setup as you. I was using a 19 volt laptop charger but recently the charger works until I hook up the negative then the light goes dead (on the charger box) and there is a beeping sound coming from the wires. I made new connections between the wires and the charger and its still doing the same thing. Any Advice?
It is a 19,5V 3A adapter from an old HP laptop. Running another session with it right now and it is getting pretty warm again, guess I will have to look into some cooling for it somehow.
Very good description of a simple method, which is very effective and needs no messy smelling chemicals at all 👍 I would recommend a much larger positive electrode, such as a disused brake rotor. As mentioned, do not use stainless steel. Avoid chromed or galvanized parts, as they also produce nasty gasses.
Hi... Just try not to use stainless steel, you will turn your solution toxic with the production of hexavaliant chromium extremely toxic and carcinogenic. In description i leaved a interesting link with good information. Big Hug.
Interesting video-so a small charger like a laptop will work and I would have never thought of that and always figured it would take a really powerful car battery charger to do the job. It appears it's all voltage and no amps? Dollar Store here I come to get plastic pans and baking soda and wire. Thanks for your time on this~!
Does the water temperature matter? If the water and ambient air is cold will the process not occur because it’s not enough power to warm the water to temp?
i have rusty 2mm plates very rusty plates(MS),what metal can i use it for anode, foni have to use the same Ms metal or any other metal like aluminium can be used, pls calrify
As i said in description bro: Never do this in a closed space, the process creates a perfectly balanced mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that is highly explosive. Ventilation is extremely important. Do not use stainless steel, you will turn your solution toxic with the production of hexavaliant chromium extremely toxic and carcinogenic.

@@aaamediamail5552 I have used 1 1/2 tables per gallon of water. I don't think it is a critical measurement, but arm/hammer wash soda (sodium carbonate) works best. Put a 12 volt battery charger or battery as power. Let cook 6 or more hours. The process is done when the rusty (anode) part is black that can be rubbed off easily and the cathode + side is coated with rust. I just learned about this rust cleaning process a couple months ago and I'm 74 years old. One old dawg can be taught a new trick.
the process is well known worldwide, but with the practice, each one made their own fine tunes. for instance: 1- for me the main rust when possible must be removed with any kind of tool(s). there are big chunks of rust that must be removed with a big screwdriver or even a chisel, 2- after that I opt for remove the maximum remaining rust with a strong wire brush and/or with a driller with rotary wire brush bit. 3- only after this, that are very simple and quick to do, that's when I use the electrolitic method, that will go tho the hidden spots and corners that the brushes can't go. 4- with some experiences I noticed that the bigger the iron/steel pieces (anode), the better the results, because there are more surface to rust attaches. 5- if you have little pieces as bolts, nuts and so on, you can pass arround or through them with a fine wire in a way to make a sorte of cord of smalls. 6- I have to say that I use in this process an old battery charger of 12V, not those moderns Ultimates (R) and other "inteligent" chargers. 7- last but not the least, all the sites and books I read, advise to not use stainless steal as a anode in this process, because the remaining water of the process will result in a POISONOUS liquid, I don't know why, never read about why this occour, I'm not a chimician, but is better NOT make that mistake.

@@RandomTubePT ISam did not respond but, I don"t think he was being funny at all. I think he was complimenting you on "repurposing" a part you don't need for what it was intended for (charging a computer). Also complimenting you on being clever to use wire intended for wrapping fruit. And he followed by a question if the solution of salt and rust can just be emptied out on the ground cause he thought it might be a bad chemical cause it looks so bad as it bubbled. I also believe there is a language problem because your from Portugal and English not your primary language. You and I probably have a language problem as well as I am American and you are not. Incidentally I don't speak a speck of Portuguese even though my grand parents from Portugal. Although my GP used to yell at me and say fechar a janela/fechar a porta. Also Cale a boca and something like...papines or something like that if there was tiny pieces of paper on floor. I don't know. One thing I know that I have Portuguese in me is I can cook up a storm. Portuguese cooking is awesome. I have all the recipe's! Lunch time now having bifanas and a beer.
I finally got around to do this experiment and it was working for 24 hours on a rusty barbecue grill. However the second day I was going to do the process again I discovered that the battery charger I was using was toast! It was black and melted together inside. It was 12V and 6A. You are using a regular laptop charger with higher V and less A. The positive long rod that was sitting in the water was wittered down to a tiny sharp point over a 3 inch length. What could the reason be why my old battery charger melted and shorted out?
Hi Jonh... 24H? Thats is to much bro. It just melt the charger? You anodes are still alive? Bro that is to much... 3h is enough... If you want repeat the process more than one time but never 24h that will destroy everithing man... Big Hug

Hello from Turkey my friend....... that is a very nice explained video I've seen so far about this method. Thank you. I have 2 quesitons if you dont mind.... 1- Are those rods plain iron ? 2- if I want to remove rust from small pieces (clippers, wrench, bolts , nuts etc) do I have to wire them all together ? Or is it enough if they contact with each other in the solution since the negative will flow through them ? Thanks.

Hi Greenid Guy... Not necessary... It will always depend the amount of rust that your piece have... Usally i leave for 3 hours for normal rust and 6 hours when i have a big amount of rust... Happy New Year. Big Hug
You can get sodium carbonate pretty easily. Just cook baking soda in a pan or pot on a stovetop. The sodium bicarbonate will start to decompose to sodium carbonate, releasing steam and carbon dioxide, when heated above 70 deg C.
1st thanks for this useful video, 2nd can you upload other videos like how to disamble drill chuck, and others tutorial that never show to us even it so easy to fix or understand. Sorry for my grammar im try my best to speak in english.
If you can't find washing soda in the stores, head over to your swimming pool supply and ask for soda ash. It's the exact same thing, sodium carbonate and it's designed to dissolve better.
Seen a few UA-cam videos on this and everyone is using steel wire on the part. It's been some time since my chemistry A level, but I am pretty confident that it's only the cathode where you need to keep the copper out the solution. At the anode aka the part it will be fine to have copper in the solution. At least in my trials there was no issue attaching the part directly to copper wire.
The Hunter Thanks... Yes that’s true I used a Laptop Charger because almost everyone have but automotive battery charger don’t... But yes works very well. 💪
Hi. Thanks for the great vid. I just wanted to clarify: Using stainless steel as an anode is a big NO. But can I use this to remove rust from a stainless steel item?
Maybe, but I heard the bubbles can produce pitting if the current is too high. Then again, your username suggests to me that speed matters more to you...
CXensation Nope, it doesn’t, it simply takes away the oxygen from the iron oxide. The other piece of metal simply serves as an anode, and if you used platinum there would be no corrosion at all.

2- if I want to remove rust from small pieces (clippers, wrench, bolts , nuts etc) do I have to wire them all together ? Or is it enough if they contact with each other in the solution since the negative will flow through them ?
Thanks.
Hello Serkan...
Let me see if can explain well to your questions...
1 - No, threaded rods. Similar to screws. But you can use plain rods.
2- connect them all together bro...

@@RandomTubePT Ok understood. Thanks for the reply : )
You Welcome. Feel free for other questions... Big Hug.
How much time will it take for a nail
Hi Kunal... It Will always depend the condition of the piece that you have but probably 2/3 hours should be enought. Big Hug
What would happen if u would put more parts in it? Would it take longer? Is there a way to make it quicker then 6 hours?
Was a useful video , thx.
Hi... You dont need 6 hours depends the amount of rust you have, this case was very rusty. You can put more than one part... I usually do...
Cool I’m gonna try this washing soda like borax or baking soda??
Hi Travis... Use Washing Soda Bro. Happy New Year. Big Hug.
If you had left the part in the solution longer would there have been less cleanup at the end?
Hi Greenid Guy... Not necessary... It will always depend the amount of rust that your piece have... Usally i leave for 3 hours for normal rust and 6 hours when i have a big amount of rust... Happy New Year. Big Hug
Hi. Great Video.
Can Citric Acid be used as Base?
Would it be more efficient and safe?
Hi Sa Jay. If you like i did on the video is safe... Try to use washing soda instead salt
Thanks for the reply 🙂
You Welcome 😀
It's my first time to your video
And wow it's amazing 👍🏻😀
wonder what a 30 v would do ?
Same result just alot faster
can it be 12 volts ?
Hi.. Yes..
You can get sodium carbonate pretty easily. Just cook baking soda in a pan or pot on a stovetop. The sodium bicarbonate will start to decompose to sodium carbonate, releasing steam and carbon dioxide, when heated above 70 deg C.
Hi Jonathan... Thanks didnt know that 😀
1st thanks for this useful video, 2nd can you upload other videos like how to disamble drill chuck, and others tutorial that never show to us even it so easy to fix or understand. Sorry for my grammar im try my best to speak in english.
Hi Richard... Actually my UA-cam Channel is stopped due this covid situation... But when i return i will see what i can do... Big Hug from Portugal
If you can't find washing soda in the stores, head over to your swimming pool supply and ask for soda ash. It's the exact same thing, sodium carbonate and it's designed to dissolve better.
Just excelent description sir... Very well executed.
Why didnt you use a metal bar for the piece? Safety reasons only?
Hi Vasilis... Thanks bro. No, it was just because i used the materials i have at home in that moment.
2:05 you are supposed to put the black to COM in the multimeter
The colour of the cables in the multimeter are inverted... big hug
@@RandomTubePT yeah i saw that, but why did you not put them on correctly
Because i just realize latter 😂😂😂
@@RandomTubePT ok😂😂
Sir. How to chrome at home
Hi Abdul, actually i never did that
Ok sir tq
Excellent tutorial, great information and a good job on the rusty piece.
Thanks for taking the time to upload.
Regards from Australia.
Thanks a lot Bro. Big Hug to you and all Australian people. 👍😁
Mr. Silent....must speak also some times in between....well...Thank...U very much.
Seen a few UA-cam videos on this and everyone is using steel wire on the part. It's been some time since my chemistry A level, but I am pretty confident that it's only the cathode where you need to keep the copper out the solution. At the anode aka the part it will be fine to have copper in the solution. At least in my trials there was no issue attaching the part directly to copper wire.
Do this in a well ventilated area because of the bad gases
Hi Shane... Yes thats the reason i said in the vídeo and description. Big Hug.
Very nice
Hi Mike... Thanks Bro. Big Hug. Happy New Year
Nice!
Thanks bro 😀🤙
12volts is enough ??
Never tryed but maybe also works
I'll try it
I read that someone tryed and worked well...
Can I use my battery charger
Hi Darren...Yes you can just take care with the Voltage and Amp dont use too much. Big Hug
Simple enough, thanks a bunch.
Thanks a lot 👍
What about electroplating
Hi my friend... Are suggesting to make a video about Electroplating????
@@RandomTubePT Yes, it could give you a more like 👍 and more subscribers,
I will check if i have the chance 😀
An automotive battery charger makes a great power supply. Good video...thanks!
The Hunter Thanks... Yes that’s true I used a Laptop Charger because almost everyone have but automotive battery charger don’t... But yes works very well. 💪
Depends lots of modern smart battery chargers are no good.
Hi. Thanks for the great vid. I just wanted to clarify: Using stainless steel as an anode is a big NO. But can I use this to remove rust from a stainless steel item?
Hi stainless steel usual dont rust and It will pull the chromium out of the stainless. If you need to clean stainless, try lemon juice.
@@RandomTubePT Thanks!!!
You Welcome. Big Hug Bro.
@@RandomTubePT you meant to replace baking soda with lemon juice?
Hi Bro... No...
Good job. Thanks bro. From Turkey...
You Welcome Bro. Big Hug
NATO ally sends warm wishes, too.
Ola, bom trabalho, tenho saudades de Algarve, 2003- 2007 Silves, Guia, Algoz, Albufeira.
Ola Amigo, es de onde? Abraço
@@RandomTubePT România, nao sei escrever in porgugues, quaz que nao lembro a falar, pasarom 13 anos.
Optimo amigo 😀 Podes comentar em Romeno que eu traduzo 😀 Um grande abraço para ti.
Why do we need two positive rods instead of one?
Hi John. You can use one but in my opinion works better with two. Improve the process. Try with one and with two and check what works better for you.
@@RandomTubePT yeah maybe something like the flow of the current goes better. Do you know if it makes any difference if the Voltage or Amp is higher?
@@my5cents4u Yes also improve the process but i never tried more than this bro... I always used this Voltage. But i know that some guys use more.
Thank you. Clear and very helpful.
Hi!!! Thanks for your comment. New videos will come soon…. I'm Waiting for a few things. Big Hug...
Awesome simple and smart Thanks brother (Please guys read the description before trying to do anything)
Thanks for your comment Bro. Really appreciate. 👍 Big Hug
Is that anodic oxidation ?
Parabens. I will try this!
Thanks Bro. May i know in what you will do?
@@RandomTubePT Not sure yet! :)
Ok Bro. If you something just let me know :)
Great job mate, will give it a go for sure. Thanks bro.
does more amps improve the process?
Yes for sure
more speed ....
Maybe, but I heard the bubbles can produce pitting if the current is too high. Then again, your username suggests to me that speed matters more to you...
Does this process affect the metals strength
Hi David... From my knowledge no and never heard about...
Nope, it only covers the part with metal from the positive electrode.
CXensation Nope, it doesn’t, it simply takes away the oxygen from the iron oxide. The other piece of metal simply serves as an anode, and if you used platinum there would be no corrosion at all.
Damn I was in headphones🤤then that outro came ate the end... i was like fuuuuuuu...😨😨
Anyway awesome content mate❤️💪
Sorry bro... This was my first videos, no experience with sound 😂😂😂 Still dont have 😂😂😂😂😂 Big Hug
Thank you for the time.
You Welcome Chris... Thanks for your comment 👍
yes thank you
You Welcome. Big Hug 👍🤗
