Electrolysis rust removal results using a garden trowel

[thehomeengineer]

I had gotten so discouraged with the elect rust removal and spend way to much time on a project that did not work well. In most cases I went back to sand blasting.
I will try the crystal method.
Thanks

I left the trowel in the bath for 16 hours so shot blasting is quicker and the surface finish is uniform and gives good key for paint. I think this method is great for tools, that require miniimum surface finish change i.e. Morse taper tooling etc.
Hope this helps your decision on which method to use in the future.
