Bucket De-ruster

Dont know how many of you already did this, or saw it but I NEEDED to try this
Bucket with 4 steel rods (+) wired together & part hanging (-) isolated clip
Take a rusty but reasonably sound part like this
My helper already dunked it so the rust isnt pictured as clearly as I wanted
but.. we've all seen the battery tray before

The in process shot here was good for gathering a crowd & plenty of comments

After (once again not the most clear pic)

Whats left is black iron deposit where the rust was.
Reclaimed after 8 hours of just sitting there

That does work very well on parts you don't want to warp or pit, it just takes so long to do some of those parts. but for me sandblasting takes 30 seconds, and the POR 15 fills in the pits.

Thanks for sharing that.

I've been looking into sand blasters & I'll need to do that too.
Right now I'm trying to find someone local that carries the media.
Cant be shipping 50-80lb bags of that
Any suggestions on which way to go are welcomed

I have used both methods, and both work really well.
I just use a bigger bucket.

I have gotten sandblasting sand at the local headstone/grave marker company

I have that same drum waiting on deck. Also a 4ft x 3ft x 4ft tank
Wanted to do a trial run to see if it was worthwhile.
Anything that gets the job done after I set it up & walk away from makes me happy

Thanks. I'll have Matt Trakker look into that for me, based on his pics, he spends alot of time in cemetaries

I got a fiberglass box that is 4x8x6 I want to do fenders in it.

I dont know at what point you need a 2nd battery charger but a 4x8x6 definitely would require 2 minimum
Really easy & cheap to do. Its gotta cost less then media (at least the 2nd time you use it)

Does thier SODA blaster mdel look like the best of both worlds?
I've seen Harbor Freight's dual tank unit with ball valve for switching from 1 tank to the oter
I just dont want to buy & curse my stupidity shortley there after

The eastwood dual is by far the best. I'm going with the batboy 300 portable it will do both for me. I also have 2 more blasters, so I don't have to swap. I thought about the dual, but I can't afford it. 399 for the badboy unit and shipping and media will push me to 500
