I use a 20L plastic container and lined it with some weldmesh. The process works by line of sight, so the more anodes you have (either linked or as on piece) the better the process works.
Place the positive lead to the anode and the negative lead to the part you want to clean. Ensure they are not touching and flick the switch. For most parts, I leave them in for 15 minutes at a time, cleaning them under hot running water with a stiff brush. Some parts take a few cycles. If I remember, I'll take some pictures of my set up. I am sure I have posted them on here before but cannot find them - probably buried somewhere in this thread!
So there definitely is some Order and semblance in all this "Mayhem", I'd say. ( just kidding, Mate !!)
Thanks for this.
Just one thing ........." the process works by line of sight" - sorry, am a bit lost here. OK, we accept simply, "the more the merrier" theory. Saw others prefer full flat metal Sheeting. We do have some heavy guage mesh and even plain Flat Sheeting ( non-galvanised ) which we could use, but seeing we are going to make this once, which would U recommend to be the better ??
