Free electroylis bath or future beach buggy?
How handy is this? Just as I'm wanting to do some electrolysis cleaning of some big stuff what do I find when out walking the dogs? A dumped
bath! Even had the plastic film on it so was immaculate inside.
I'm just back after carrying it through the woods (even my He-Man like physic was straining a bit at the end, boy its heavy) and plonked it
outside my garage. It's a right deep bath just so just what I needed, cool. I'll get a plug tomorrow and do some rust removal 
I'll have to think of a use for it once I've finished cleaning...

Last year I cleaned up a type 9 gearbox in an avocado bath that my sister was throwing out. Very handy. Didn't use electrolysis though.
I set the bath up with the plug end over a drain in the back garden so all the liquid goo flowed away with the minumum of fuss. I just pulled the
plug out of the bath once finished having already removed the drain cover. No mess at all and then straight down the tip with the bath once it had
all dried.

It was only water and caustic soda. It would have cleaned the drain nicely thats all. Nothing nasty once watered down.

To be honest it didn't have much effect on the muck on the gearbox so I doubt its potency on anything else.
Did mention I emptied the contents of a couple of car batteries while I was at it?

Now if you had said you emptied MILK down the drain, then the tree huggers would have gone nuts.

Its summer time and Richie gears up to cut the yards grass, hopefully he can do it quickly to reduce exposure. He notices the waste from that gearbox
clean still hasn’t gone away.
