OK Men, here goes.
I've been wanting to try this for some time, and, since PB croaked, Now is a good time to open an IMGUR acct for photo hosting.
I have a "barn find" set of fluid steel shotgun barrels, and all I require before proceeding is some washing soda to creat the mild electrolyte.
I already know the chemistry, and am reasonably certain that the outcome will be. I would caution anyone unfamiliar with the chemistry, that changing iron from one state to another, whether by chemistry (a cleaner) or by electricity, can have unintended consequences.
Most of what we do in this arena gives off flammable gas, and must be done outdoors, in a hood, or other well ventilated area.
I will carry out this crude electrolysis experiment, complete with pictures) this weekend, for the benefit of readers.
