Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
Saw that a couple days ago. If you watch his other vids, he is an incredibly talented for someone of his age. Can't wait for him to start the body.

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
You can fix or figure out about anything by using youtube it seems. "Looks" like a decent block, good for him!!

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
He is a sharp young lad, but has a bit to learn about safety. Pressure washing without eye protection is not a good thing. I worked in heavy industry and saw people damage their eyes doing jobs less risky than what he was doing.

I don't think they are made of steel. |

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
It would be interesting to check results of a shake & bake before, then again after that operation.

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
You have to remember that electrolysis works on "line of sight" only, so the chances of that block being cleaned on the inside is not very good. Quite frankly, he probably would have gotten the same results by just pressure washing it. I have experimented with this method of rust removal and found it lacking (and messy).
Good to see the "young-uns" at it, though. |

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
There have been similar videos on the internet for several years. They always have mixed results, as tubman posted it is a line of sight type of process.

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
He seems to know how to play the social media.
I wonder if wire with plastic beads placed at strategic points bent into the water jackets for be effective for internal cleaning?

He doesn't say what he does with the liquid when he is finished.

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
I'm just pleased to see anybody younger than me doing something at all.
Actually he seems to have a decent setup there, plenty of space and access to hoists, a bucket loader and all sorts of things not necessarily available to all. I'd kill for that space. Mart. |

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
It's a good video and I sure admire the kid's gumption. I still feel that an overnight soak in a chelating rust remover is the best method since all internal and external surfaces have the rust safely removed.

Re: Teenager cleaning flathead electrolysis
cleanest block I ever had spent the night in a chelating agent with steam heat. used to work in a paper mill and the plant chemist gave me some of the agent that went into the boilers--sure was clean and the flathead never did overheat. wish I still had access to some of those "toys"
