Translation Please!!!
If you watch it on yt, you can turn on closed captioning and select english and you will get a marginal description of what is said. The bottles are not translated, but you can infer. Unfortunately, for example, you can't know what the metal of the carb that he dissolves in "battery electrolyte" is, but I would guess it is some kind of zinc pot metal (since he is doing "galvanizing") and you can look up "battery electrolyte" and learn it is a weak sulfuric acid solution (the lead acid battery type). Later on in the video, you see him heating the steel, dipping it into the saturated zinc/acid and getting some of the zinc to come out of solution and adhere to the steel. I don't know how good a plating job this does (he says you can do it multiple times, but I don't know the chemistry).Quote:

Thanks, Buffalo John I now understand what was happening.
