An Inside Job with Rebar

[Russell Ware]

I picked up a 2gal English pot recently. Standard electrolysis wouldn't do too much for the inside; since, it is more of a line-of-sight de-rusting method. Here is the setup I came up with:
1ft rebar clamped into the red charger lead, tied to a 2X4 stud w/ twine
7qts standard electro solution (even though the pot is marked 2gal)
20amp charger borrowed from the electro tank
and a 5gal bucket of deck stain for ease of use to help set the height of the red clamp on the charger. Yes, it is the same bucket of deck stain I still need to empty in order to clean the #8 favorite waffle iron with wooden handles I picked up a year ago, but I'm working on it!
I cleaned off one of the handles on the pot, and that is where I attached the black charger lead.
Amperage was rather low, but after 12hr, I was surprised by how much oxidation was removed. I'll finish the outside now in the electro tank.

Looks good to me.

Is the 2x4 stud inside of the pot?

The 2X4 is above the red lead. It is nailed to the 2X4 at the right in the photo. The red lead is tied from above to adjust the level, so the rebar does not contact the bottom of the pot.
Keep in mind that rebar is messy (not a first choice for donor metal). By the time I completed the first round, the water in the pot looked like a rusty snow globe. Quite a bit settled out on the bottom of the pot too, so I re-filled the pot with more solution and ran it again to be sure it got any rust on the inside bottom of the pot.
