Electrolysis rust removal results using a garden trowel
Hi All
Following on from the post http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/e...-removal-67148 I have managed to successfully clean up an old garden trowel from my late mother’s garden which she used all the time. The following photos show the process in cleaning up the trowel which has now been painted and back in service. The trowel is very old and is well made so pleased to have recovered it and give it a new lease of life. The trowel was left in the solution for 15 hours the ratio of crystal to tap water was 1.5 table spoon to 1 Gallon.
