I am getting a lot of questions about the electro cleaning process, it
may be best to ask these on the list so I don't have to answer the same
question several times, I don't mind but my time is limited and we can
all benefit....

Rich,
I use nails, chain, steel bars, stainless steel rods, stainless hose
clamps, almost anything dispensible.
The article you use will enventually be disolved, stainless lasts the
longest. Don't get too hung up on surrounding the part to be
cleaned.... just leave it in for a day or two then use a wire brush,
some brillo and running water to clean off the residue. The brillo will
keep rust from re-forming for several days, the soap used in brillo has
phosphates in it which protects the newly cleaned article.
Very important - make certian the polarity is correct or you will
disolve the part you are trying to clean!
