electrolysis tank help in Utah

[tclev]

Dunno if i'm starting this thread in the right place or not, but I was wondering if there was anybody on GJ in northern Utah that could help me with an electrolysis tank? Either the use of theirs, or construction of my own.

I'm planning on using it on the restoration on my: columbian 503 1/2.

Tclev: since you are a new member i want to welcome you to Garage Journal and tell you that there is a great thread in this section that covers a lot of stuff if you want to learn and can't find a local guy to show you in person. a little search sometimes will work much better than starting a thread and if you did this a lot i bet guys wouldn't be as willing to do the search for you.

it isn't a perfect system but the search does give you a start. here's the electrolysis thread i suggest you read through because i had a ton of questions stored up that always got plenty of answers along with those of the other members.

good luck.

also a bucket of straight store bought vinegar or evaporust works too until you get your E tank set up.

Id say build your own since your about to restore a vise, which then results in multiple vises being bought and then before you know it you'll be chaining vises together in your back yard like some of us here. Read through the vise thread and you'll get hooked.

all you need is a plastic tub big enough for your parts, a box of washing soda and a battery charger.

It's easy-peasy. 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot...a piece of steel (I used flat bar stock) and a DC voltage source, 5-6 volts that is capable of 2 amps, an older computer power supply works as well as a battery charger. Get some washing soda (at your local grocery store). 1/2 c of soda into the bucket, add water to fill. Wire the part to the negative side, and the positive to the steel. Make sure they are not touching...Apply power and enjoy!

Thanks for the information guys.
I think I may have a couple old computer power supplies around here somewhere, I'll give it a shot.

Mr. Brooks: its to late for that I'm already hooked. Seems like I constantly look at local classifieds.
