Paddy Galore! Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Hi gents, anyone have much knowledge about using sodium carbonate and electrolysis to remove rust? I saw some stuff on faceache about laser removal but no one does it round my neck of the woods, the machines cost thousands so I was wondering if this was a viable alternative. cheers for any help.

Lord O War Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just remember not to put anything chrome plated in as it will produce some nasty ****, hexavalent chromium I think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
