How to PERFECT Reverse Sear: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsCciLOWmpebfHk.htmlsi=pF8sRW9WhduDZ-XT

Something a neighbor recommended to me was to use a pant mixer on a variable speed drill to mix the sodium carbonate, it worked. I usually let em wait in the lye tank before going into electrolysis tank. If you'll be careful you can mix the Lye the same way. It cuts down on the time in the e-tank. I've agreed to clean cast iron for an auction house so turnaround time matters to me. I guess I've joined the Black Pans Matter movement !?

Thank you for the lesson. I should set up my tank again. Stay safe and stay cool

That coffee filter tip was genius. I never thought of that. I was tired of using napkins! Thanks!

This is awesome and it works so well. I wish I had the drive to build one of the tanks. I found some some iron pans from the early 1900's recently. They need a ton of work.

I've never even heard of this technique. Thanks for the education.

i love that idiocracy reference!!!

I do this with old rusty tools. Worth mentioning how this should be done in a very well ventilated place as this process and its bubbles create Hydrogen gas, and with sparks being created disconnecting terminals, you don’t want a Hindenberg Zeppelin incident…

The Idiocracy reference had me in stitches! 😂

Still have no idea how to do this. Good thing I have a brother. You have very pretty blue eyes, Mr. Teach a Man to Fish.

I'm about to build an electrolysis tank and opted to use an adjustable DC power supply. They are very easily controlled and maintain a constant current. Ill be expirementing with settings but plan to start at 20V/5A.

I use a lawnmower battery attached to a trickle charger. Works great. Chick at lawnmower repair shop just gave me the battery. Was almost brand new. A little sweet talk goes a long way lol Also...can balled-up aluminum foil be used as a scruber? About to get the cast iron Dutch oven out of solution in 1 hr!

Awesome! Great job! Thank you very much!

Just watched your Electrolysis video that was done two years ago. I am interested in building me a similar type of unit. I understand the barrel and I have access to one. But, could you provide me with the type of pipes and a dimension of an outline and what needs to to welded? Plus you have some "panels" welded so I assuming to eliminate any areas that could get shadowed. A diagram would be great. I enjoy your videos. Thanking in you advance for your help. If you need me to send an email to your address, I can do that too. Thank you.

Great video, never heard of this before and I’m an electrician lol. My BBQ hotplate and grill are both in bad shape. They are fairly large 45cm square each. I’ve tried scrubbing them with wire brush and all sorts of rust remover and chemicals. I even dipped them in Hypochlorite acid for 2 days. This removed a lot of rust and I washed them clean and they seemed in good shape. I thought job done ✅ But next day they were totally rusted again. Maybe they were actually clean but it’s the ‘flash rust’ I’m getting as I didn’t finish the process. I will wash them again and if there’s no rush I will oil and bake them straight away rather than leaving them for a day. By the time I get them repaired it’ll be winter. 🤦‍♂️

Shared of cast scrapers, Shard of cast, when electroplating, john.

I followed your video instructions and it seems to be working! I even have the same brand of battery charger, except mine isn’t dual voltage. I do have one question, somewhere in the video, you made a comment about oxygen and hydrogen. Is this producing hydrogen gas and if so, if I use this in an enclosed area such as my garage, can I have a potential Hindenburg like moment?

Awesome tank. No copper in the tank though.

how long do you keep a pan in the electrolysis tank?

Holy crap, did you actually put your hand on the gunk while the electeo-lol-ysis was happening?

3:47 Can you make sodium carbonate? I thought it was just sodium bicarbonate soaked in water and then oven dried at 200 degrees... (not too hot... hotter is not better) it's worth looking into.

Better check up on using stainless in the tank. You will run into some issues with acid gas as a biproduct

How would you season a big cast iron witch’s pot after cleaning?

How often do you have to change the water in your tank?

what about the theory to heat the water out before you season?

So how ling did you bake them for and at what temperature?

was it set to 6v instead of 12 for a reason?

Using a Variable DC power supply can work instead of a battery charger.

You say the setting is 12V 2A. But it shows 6V 6A on the charger @4:54. Just say'n

Just a few comments, if you can voiceover the mistake of anode and cathode (you reversed the terms, and Scheumaker still is making very nice manual chargers as well as many other companies. Just need to look harder or buy online. Copper should never be in the water as well as any other toxic heavy metals like galvanized steel.

people i know when they want to clean their pans they put them in the wood burning stove.

I bet a little carbon blade on an air compressor could cut the pipe

This works great! But something that works id hazard better and is more importantly even easier is just build a campfire get it pipeing hot and throw your pan in. Cover it up in the coals and let it cook for a while. All the crud seasoning will just fall off and even most of the rust. Then season as normal.

Actually it is reverse electrolysis

It seems totally unnecessary. I just put mine into my propane barbecue grill with 3 burners on high at about 600 degrees Fahrenheit for 2.5 hours, and then when they are still hot I rinse them in cold water. After a few minutes of scrubbing gently with a scouring pad they are absolutely clean and ready to be re-seasoned.

… that barrel cost more than a new pan.

You just cooked so much rust into that egg

No stainless, either! Stainless rods or parts will make the water contain hexavalent chromium! A class A carcinogen! That's nasty stuff! We're talking even the hazmat team doesn't like touching the stuff!

I've used this process many times and read many instructions on how to do it. Never have I seen anyone use a metal container. In fact, although many people have different set ups, they have ALL said to use a plastic or non conductive container. .And never use stainless as an anode. I don't see how this works for you but you may be doing something dangerous.
