Lightbulb How To Remove Rust With Electrolysis In Six Easy Steps

I've been using vinegar for rust and corrosion removal on small hand tools and also some of my motorcycle fuel tanks.

It seems to work well but am wondering if electrolysis would be a better method.

I ran across this YT vid which shows how it's done.

In the comments section, it's mentioned that using Sodium Carbonate works better, and to sand off where the wires attach for a better connection, and to use coated wire where it enters the solution. I also read in another vid to use several different connection points on the rusted item to help the process.

Thoughts?
