Yes I also have been using this process for many years as well.I use that cleaning soda (I think it's called) comes in a 1kg bag at woollies.Which is sodium carbonate and still have heaps left,and I bought the bag years ago.
Gizmo,I know it has been written not to use a stainless steel anode,but I have been using one for years and still have 98% of it in-tact.It has been used many many times over.
Also I have seen it written that it does work better in a controlled temperature,but from what I've been reading IanOZ the temperature of our water (Especially where you are) would be at that ideal temperature anyway.Besides that who wants the hassle of controlling the water temp?
Very interesting info there on the penetrating oil.
I know that ATF was good as I've always used that once WD-40 didn't work.Never thought of mixing it with Acetone.I think it's time to try that out.
Thanks IanOZ.
