[Shop-talk] Electrolysis rust removal

[Dave Cavanaugh]

I think most people just use it until it's so nasty they can't stand it 
and then dump it and start with a fresh batch.  I'm on the Old Wood 
Working Machines forum where a lot of guys use electrolysis for cleaning 
up old machines and I can't remember the topic of straining or cleaning 
the solution coming up.
