They are all good French wines, so the best one would be the one which has been opened

Not sure what you mean here, the charger would just keep the battery topped up. However by connecting the battery direct you are basically looking at the cranking amps of the battery being in circuit, i don't think that would be too clever & i wouldn't like to do it, make a good photo though.

Brad, is this to remove paint only, or does it remove light rust as well.

Cheers

ps How quickly does it work at 240 volts

Paint, crud, & all rust.
It has to be DC so wiring it up to the mains won't work.

Brad

I had never heard of this technique for rust removel before. I have been doing a bit of reserch on it and everyone else uses a steel anode and you are using lead. Is there an advantage to this as lead is far more expensive.

Cheers

I agree the web sites I have checked all mention using steel or iron. One chap was using stainless untill a chemical engineer pointed out the caustic fluid with the stainless and electricity would generate toxins. Wonder about the lead myself. The rig I am building will stick with the building reinforcing steel rods placed around the outer of the drum and connected electricly. They also mention using washing soda as the medium, it would not have all the extra chemicals you find in detergent.

The lead was left over from building so free anyway & that was the method passed down to me from an old mechanic, it works so i'll keep it that way.
Also the the washing powder doesn't really matter that much, it gets cleaned off afterwards & i'm not doing any coloured cottons washes.

Thinking back to some pictures of Tony T's, washing Sunbeam Tigers and cotton garments at the same time can sometimes produce pleasing results.

The swimsuit carwash happens at the National every year.
Although Gary in a bikini is something you only want to see once.
