Step 6Things to note
Some things to remember about this process:
The electrolyte doesn't wear out, no matter how it looks. The water does get broken down, and will have to be added back. Though you may want to make new electrolyte just because it looks /disgusting/. Washing soda is very inexpensive.
Though this process can reverse certain kinds of rust, it can't fill in pits in the surface. If you're going to paint, fill those pits in first.
You don't want to have anode to cathode contact, that's bad. It causes a short. Make sure the two don't touch.

I think this would be better classified as "refinishing metal parts". It'd attract more attention.
