Hi Jerry,
If you increase the number of sacrificial electrodes, you will get quicker results. I made a ring out of some weld mesh (non-galvinsed) to line the inside of my tub.
I do like the use of the foam to ensure the work piece doesn't short out.
Also - just a note to other - don't use a stainless steel electrode as the chromium is released during electrolysis. Most of the stuff I have read thus far points to the best results being gained using rusty electrodes, which is good because I had plenty of rusty old weld mesh :)

Don't forget to season that pan again right away, unless you just want to continue practicing on de-rusting it again....
RE: metal cleaners - ETC57 - 05-25-2012
Hi Willie
,OOOOOOO yes they will get properly seasoned.
The pans were given to me by my sister in law, she thought they were junk
and hoped maybe I could use them in one of my projects.
When my wife saw them her eyes lit up and asked can we clean them up for camping, and thus a project is born.
Thanks for the tip Mayhem
Jerry.

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions,
this has been a fun experiment with a practical application.
I will be perfecting my new found metal derusting tool!
