good luck
Just before I throw out an old set of brake discs, it did occur to me that they are solid iron. So can they be used for electrolysis as the sacrificial element?
They may be used but I thin they would be awkward to use.
Several smaller pieces is better
IMHO...
Good idea batman, wire up parralel with one each side of the tub/bucket...
Thanks, I'm going to try t!
Or bottom of the tub with a draining board plastic mat on top of to give a small gap to the item being cleaned perhaps?

Used a brake disc for my last session. Was v good. Vented helps with surface area also.
All round the item works best. I used some iron bar and bent it in a large coil around the object.
use graphite rods it cleaner works better to

BUT, where can you get them???
didn't you used to be able to get them from breaking open the blue eveready zinc-carbon batteries? I am sure that I remember doing that,.. D

I can find two sources, the best option are graphite gouging electrodes but it seems difficult to get the pure carbon ones rather than the copper
coated ones. And they're not cheap.
The other source is stirring sticks for smelting, although these seem to be pretty much pencils without the wood!
Ive just wired two brake discs together and switched it on, we'll see how it gets on
