   Today I will use these to remove rust from my axe head.

     I still have to make some washing soda but that's easy enough. I buy my baking soda in bulk and when I need washing soda I just cook it on the stove.
     
     In could probably get away with using lye instead, but I think the washing soda is a safer option and it's not much trouble to make.

     @thatguyoverthere IDK why I never thought of making it. I just buy it at the store as it's pretty cheap. How much is baking soda in bulk?

     @BowsacNoodle I haven't bought it in a few years. Last time I got 50 lbs for less than 30 bucks iirc.
     
     If you needed a lot of washing soda at one time it might make sense to buy it but usually I'm just making dish detergent or something and a couple cups is all I need. Today I need like half a cup lol.
     
     I imagine the cost of both is about the same at the store. I mainly learned to make it because it meant less things to store and label and risk mixing up. Also I do enjoy the processes involved in making just about anything.

     @thatguyoverthere Have you ever seen molasses rust removal? It grows mold but it seems pretty effective. I suppose that's kind of expensive though.

     @BowsacNoodle no I've never heard of that. This is my first time trying electrolysis, but if it works out this will probably become my go to method. It seems fairly quick and effective from what I've seen and read.

     @BowsacNoodle I think it drives my family nuts because I always start rambling about "I bet I could make that" lmao

     @p sounds neat but lasers are so damn pricey. Seems cool that you can do it while the handle is still intact. I have this ace head removed from the handle already so lowering it into a tank of water won't fuck up the handle.

     @Jonaschuzzlewit @thatguyoverthere Yep! You dilute it 1:10 in water. I haven't looked at the "why" for it, but it works extremely well and doesn't attack bare metal at all.
     Here's a screenshot showing three rusted landscaping bolts in water, molasses, and evaporust respectively.

     Molasses like regular molasses?

     @thatguyoverthere Electrolysis is extremely quick and effective. Only downside is the pitting it sometimes reveals and potential to go a bit too aggressive if left too long. If you have time to wait, molasses soak is very good. Project Farm did a test on it and found it about as affective as evaporust but it takes like 3 weeks.
