this is not my formula but my father has used it a time or two to remove rust from antique rifles and other small items. just out of curiousity i put a door hinge in the solution and in about a day it had free motion again.
1 gallon of water plus one tablespoon of arm and hammer baking soda. drop a lead into the water, positive connected to the item, and the negative connected to rod also in the water. get them close but do not let them touch and connect a 12 volt source to it, dc battery charger. you will see the solution foam up, pull out the item after an hour or so just to see the result.
DISCAIMER: in no way is getcarter responsible for electricution or spontaneous combustion..lol..
he told me that he has tried to mix up the formula but it did not make any difference. he switched from soaking the items in diesel to this exclusively.
not a tech entry, just thought i would share. i am going to have him take a picture to illustrate.
