First time using electrolysis

[WWShop]

I bought this Ridgid pipe wrench at a yard sale for $1 and decided this would be a good candidate to try the electrolysis method for the first time. A pretty lame restoration compared to the many on GJ, but I am pretty proud of how it turned out and just wanted to share. I was absolutely amazed at how well it worked. I wish I would have taken some pics after the wrench came out of the tank, but here are a few before and after shots. I used boiled linseed oil on the bare metal and tried to match the orange to my Ridgid vac.

Nice but I think RIDGID pipe wrenches are red. But then again who cares. If you like orange so be it.

That's looks great! Would you mind sharing some details on how you did it for someone who knows nothing about the process?

That looks good to me. I've got several pieces that I would like to try and you've given me a kick to get started.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I know the Ridgid pipe wrenches are red but just not a fan of red (except for the time when i was 19 and i took home this redhead for the night....but thats a whole other story) so I looked over at my ridgid vac, held an orange spray can next to it and it matched fairly close. I really like the orange. Thanks again everyone!
